I have a Zevatech 720 that was working great until one day a "E9001 the emergency stop button has been pressed..." error popped up when I turned the machine on. We traced out the circuit and found out what board it went to. I found a replacement an

Joe, When developing profiles I recommend using a board that is populated the same way as the reflow will see in actual production, no more components, no less. My company manufactures ovens and part of our QC Procedure is to make sure the thermal

Hi Grant, change over and set up times for the CP's depend on a few things. For one, if you have enough feeders you can have the feeders reeled up ready to go on the machine. The change over will be very quick. If you are lucky enough to o

Hi, We thought about the Universal turret chip shooter, and decided to go away from them because they are mechanically complex and expensive. We also wanted to use machines of the same brand on the line so we could run the management software easi

What is your budget limit? That is going to be a major factor in what you end up with. We have a machine that is lower cost and it performs lower cost. It works and we always get the job done correctly but we cannnot use "canned programs" on it. i

James, Post your email address I will send you that information. Not sure if I still have the comparison matrix of the 6 machines we evaluated but will see if I can find it. Everyone has their own opinion however, saying that APE equipment is bett

Have you got some experience with using laser (CO2 or fiber one) to label with barcode your PCBs ? So far I thought it is easy process but now we do tests with many PCBs covered with diffrent soldermasks and fiber laser as well as CO2 has same probl

Routing is great for odd shaped PCBs that don't lend themselves to v-scoring. changing from one shape PCB to another is easy. The down sides are you may require custom support tooling and they generate alot of dust. keeping up with the PM will be cri

Hi, That's the interesting point, and I think it's got to do with the design of the placement. You have 8 pick heads in the Hydra head, and they all line up with a tape in the feeder. So in theory when it can pick all 8 components at once, and the

Hi, Thanks for the info, and this really helps a lot. So the change over time is really just loading the different feeders? That does not seem like too much trouble. How does the X and Y correction on the HSP effect real world placement accuracy? D
