Here is a couple of things to look at: 1. Make sure the boards are plugged into the correct position. Also just leave out the transport card to see if its hanging up the machine. The transport board should be the board all the way to the right. 2. M

Hello Rob, Thanks for your fast reply. I will check the parts you mentioned. You were right about the mot card we swaped it with a new one but that made no difference. Today we tried to find were the problem could be we: - removed the j1, j2 and

Have to agree with Sr Tech and Spoilt - you'd have to really mistreat your paste these days for it to be the root cause. However, try another paste to eliminate that; making sure you abide by the suppliers specs. Pad design, stencil design,(includin

Thanks, I've been glancing at Universals, too. Knowing that they do factory refurbs is a factor. We're considering all avenues at this point. The owner likes not having debt in the company, so, cash purchases are of interest...which does lead us t

Does this happen with just 1 gantry? If so...I would think your encoder in that gantry/axis needs cleaned. I have seen digital i/o cards cause this issue. But usually you will notice this when opening and closing the doors. The head would sometimes

Thanks Bob. I just didn't have enough experience with production SMT (vs hand-soldered prototypes) to know how finicky some things like this are. I've tried to do a lot of reading, but I haven't seen much that talks about things like this. I also hav

Hi, we have plans to build up a SMD manufacturing line and would like to get your feedback what is best for us to choose. We are outsourcing about 50 different products which are more or less low series (up to 1000 pieces). Boards are very different

I think what angered me the most was finding out that the FSE was going to need transportation to and from the plant every day. And I was more angered towards the Manufacturer's Sales Rep because my interpretation, though I may be wrong, was that the

From the picture I would say the problem lies with the PWB manufacturer. It looks as though some part of the plating process was not optimal during the PWB production run, and you have the resulting discoloration following the reflow process. What
