I have to disagree with Fastek. We only use dedicated tooling on our AP machines. Dedicated tooling pros: *Set up time is 90%+ faster than universal tooling. *It is very easy to train operators to install dedicated support plates. *You do not need

Histogram: Place standard tooling block in centernest. Jog camera over block. Jog z-axis to soft limit. Place a white card under camera. User mode to test. Turn board lamp on. From test menu, select histogram. With board lamp on and white under camer

We finally can't avoid adding wave solder to our process anymore. For lead-free, medium sized wave I'm leaning towards mid 2000s senju units as the best fit. I've never run their equipment. Opinions? As a point of reference for our general capabilit

If I may clarify something as to not give the wrong idea. As a used equipment dealer my focus is on the cost of ownership only for myself and the buyer at the entry point. I was assuming (perhaps incorrectly) from the gentleman's statement that the m

Thanks Chris... I do not have the c-tool, but I did make some adjustments to the middle cube when I was calibrating it. Like I said in an earlier post, I cleared the vision offsets in the ap.cal file and adjusted the middle cube until the board alig

I found this pot, and tried adjusting it. It was already turned to its maximum, and the histogram did not look good. I tried replacing the board lamp and this helped the histogram a lot, but I am not able to get the bars centered in the green. The

Craig, Try this.... Go into 'machine-calibration-transport' then click on 'touch stop'. Reteach your board touch stop x for both gantries (if you moved both touch stops). If the board still does not reach the touch stop.....teach 'Board Positioning S

A couple years back we were looking at going to an enclosed solder paste printing process, similar to the ProFlow, Crossflow, or Rheometric Pump. We have older MPM AP25's with a custom transport. Speedline told us that in order to add the RheoPump,

Dedicated tooling uses what MPM calls an "H" tower. You mount the board support plate (dedicated tooling) on top of the H tower. If boards are only single-sided SMT, meaning only components on one side, the board support plate is flat with vacuum hol
