Excess Stock - Robotics Equipment for Semiconductor Fab

 
I would try eBay for all of the stuff you mentioned. You can get just =
about anything on there these days. I just bought a bunch of parts from =
a guy that was routinely throwing them away at his work place and he =
decided to post them on eBay just to see if he got any takers. He got a =
little cash and I got some good stuff for my projects!

Regarding this newsgroup, what I've seen others do  - which I think is =
acceptable - is to mention a specific product you have when it could =
meet the needs of someone posting on here. And maybe have a link to your =
web site at the bottom of all of your posts. Also it's not uncommon when =
doing that to mention other places someone could find a similar product =
if the one you offer doesn't suit their needs. Basically just don't  =
flood the newsgroup with spam. A one time or infrequent post with F.S. =
at the front of the subject heading would be acceptable, too, from what =
I gather.

Anyway, this is just my opinion, so you might want to wait and see what =
some of the others on here have to say about it. The fact that you're =
even asking tells me that whatever you do will probably be ok, though.

Good luck !

Thanks JCD!

We do have an ebay store, it just seems that something more specific
to
robots and industrial equipment might be better.  e-bay seems to be
hit or
miss, still better than nothing.

I'm an electrical engineer and have actually used some of the
robotics
equipment to design a pick and place system at the company.  Here's a
link to a video of the system in case anyone in curious:

And the store where we have industrial equipment for robotics, machine
vision, lasers,
arc lamp, National Instruments PXI bus computers, and pneumatic
equipment:
