While Sparkfun now operates both an MC-383V and an MC-384F, the machines are quite similar and the 383V is no longer manufactured. Therefore, I have listed specs for the 384. Below the specifications info are detailed a few of the differences between the two machines.

**MC-384F Features, Specifications, and Costs**

    * Head-Mounted Vision Cameras and Cognex ® Vision Processing for Non-Contact "On-the-Fly" Alignment of SMDs from 0.6 mm x 0.3 mm (0201 Footprint) to 16 mm x 14 mm, including flip-chips, CSPs, and µBGAs
    * Bottom Vision Camera for Large Components up to 38 mm x 38 mm, including Fine-Pitch .020" (0.5 mm) QFPs
    * Large 14.5" (370 mm) x 13.4" (340 mm) Placement Area with 128 Individual 8 mm or 12 mm Smart Tape Feeders Installed
    * Additional Time-Pressure Dispense Head or Micro-Dispensing Head and ATP Digital Dispensing System Available for Application of Solder Paste and Adhesives at Dot Sizes Down To 6 mil (.015 mm) Diameter
    * DC-Servo Drive with Closed Loop Encoding in All Four Axes (X, Y, Z, and R) for Placement Accuracy of ± .05 mm (± .002"); Precision Ball Screw Propulsion in X and Y Axes; Linear X-Y Drive Optional
    * Windows ®-based Operating System and MC-300 Series Control Software with Programming via Direct Numeric Data Entry, Teach-Mode, or CAD Conversion and Download; Fully-Integrated Dispensing Software
    * Remote Diagnostic Capability and Full One-Year Warranty

**Manncorp MC-300 Smart Feeders Key Features**

    * New, Slim-Profile Hardware Design for Maximum Feeder Mounting and Utilization
    * Built-In Memory Module Links Individual Tape Feeders to Specific Component Data (value, lot code, date code, quantity, package type, index increment, etc.)
    * Data Values Written to Memory Modules are Retained When Feeders are Removed from Machine or Until Overwritten
    * Connection Through Feeder Port and Base Links Smart Feeders to Known Location on Pick and Place Machine for Optimized Setups or Quick Changeover
    * Automatic, Vision-Assisted Closed-Loop Adjustment of Smart Tape Feeder Pickup Position to Compensate for Loose Packaging Tolerance
    * Ultra-Smooth, Electronic Tape Indexing and Adjustable Peel-Back Tensioner
    * Optional 2 mm Minimum Indexing for Small 0201 and 0402 Devices
    * Optional Bar Code Reader for Component Data Entry and Verification Prior to Assembly



**Costs**
  * Machine base cost lists at $44,995
  * Feeders range from $550 to $2000 depending on size and type

**MC-383V Differences**
  * First of all, there aren't many differences. The 383 is a fine machine that continues to serve us reliably over 14 hours a day.
  * The 384 does feature improvements to the bearings in the worm drive, allowing for a couple speed settings faster than that of which the 383 is capable.
  * The cameras on the 384 are a bit improved.
  * That's really about all we've found...although it did come with a nicer, widescreen monitor.
  * Check with the nice folks at [[https://www.manncorp.com/pick-and-place/mc384/|Manncorp]] for more info about the differences between specs for these machines...or look at the [[https://www.manncorp.com/pick-and-place/mannautocat2.pdf|brochure for the entire MC Series]].
  * At the time of this writing, there was a refurbished MC-383L2OV on Manncorp's site for $24,995! Be sure to check their [[https://www.manncorp.com/used-equipment/|used equipment page]].
