You might also have a dirty/sticky Z-rod resulting in the same problem, although ordinarily you'll see a lot of missed pickups as well.

Could it be from a dirty stencil, rather than from the pick and place operation? We've seen a number of occurences recently with solder balls near some of our fine pitch components...we eventually diagnosed as dirty stencils...excess solder on the b

Yes 0402 8X4 embossed feeders exist for Panasonic MSR, Universal GSM, Contact Systems, and Mimot for sure. In the old days of 0402 components, 0402 resistors used to come in 8X4 paper tape but now I think most 0402 resistors and capacitors come in 8

I think the Samsung SM320 is quite good machine..But I suggest that must assembly feeder cover to the feeder trolleys, because without that the tape feeders are not safe for the heads. Feeders should broke the head. chip components wrong light sett

Hello, Thank you for answer. We are using second hand machine. What do you mean saying that �stencil is not height on all 4 corners�? Does it have some inclination between corners? I mean that three corners of stencil are matching with PCB fine and

Boots: Here's several methods for guessing at the amount of solder on your connection: * First, 'Down & Dirty' ** Assume that the solder is flat, which is reasonable since it's 'flattened' by the component package ** Assume 100% paste transfer from t

Let me guess, you are talking about a Siplace S15 or F3. The bearings around the sleeve could be dirty and create too much friction for the little turning motors to rotate the sleeve. What do you mean by parts missing? Are you saying components are

- Dirty stencil transfering paste from the stencil bottom. - Stencil opening (Pad Hole) to pad ratio incorrect - too large -misaligned stencil

It could be the nozzles themselves causing the contamination. The coating could be worn off and oxidizing. Or it could be residue on the board or components that wasn't washed off.
