Your Quality Manager won't let you make changes, yet you get blammed for process problems? First, you need a change in management. Second, if you can't change set pre-heat temps, change the conveyor speed. Slow it down and see if your joints loo

We recently purchased a Mirtec AOI machine, it take a bit to program but overall we are pleased. The machine has a downward looking camera, we have had some issues with the machine not catching opens. When a IC has it's legs bent straight up off th

You can use Cp and Cpk to find out your machine performance and accuracy. Some machine had it own software and kit. ie. Siemens. If you are using Fuji and you can visit the AD. on this web, TIMEKEY. Otherwise, you can use a high precision AOI with

I appreciate your comments regarding the programmability of the Mirtec. What type of SMT machine do you use? How easy have you found it to transfer the SMT profiles to the Mirtec? How do you rate the Mirtec in handling top/bottom, multi-panel asse

When testing components on a PCBA, try to validate coverage for presence, correct, orientation, live, and alignment. AOI is not really great at catching cold solder joints and damaged components, and from my experience an X-Ray is only as good as the

Hello. I am sourcing machines for an SMT line (for the first time) and would like to understand features of current and earlier model SPI and AOI machines. In the intended application, a high volume of PCAs aren't required to be processed but there

Samir, From experience, the only board test situation where tented via's have difficulty with contact is with a Flying Probe type tester. Otherwise, for traditional ICT, the force of the pogo pins, correct probe type, and fixture design should do th

You're a piece of work! Why don't you work for any of the major wave companies? So how does slowing the conveyor speed eliminate drying flux? And when you slow it down, what speeds it up to make you say "I lower the wave because I get shorts going

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg
