Yeah I had a peek Woberto but I've never been all that fond of the Chinese stuff. Their casting usually stinks and their electrics are the worse than a 60s somethin Jag !

Brausse, Yawa and a few others all are cast in the same plant in China these days (hell Bobst even has a line of autoplatens made in China these days!) and pretty much just have different paint schemes except for the Brausses. Brausse has their machines shipped from the foundry to their facility in Canada and then install their own electrics, which seem to be of waaay better quality.

The Indian machines we import are hell for strong, have a higher tonnage PSI than any machine I'm aware of and we have the factory install all 60hz electrical components for the North American market. Their only weak point is their fit and finish, but people damned sure love the way they run, so .... In the 7yrs we've repped these machines I've been on exactly 1 service call which was the result of the operator failing to keep it lubricated angry smiley
