I'm glad I dropped in here. I am about to buy some tooling for a Fuji GP-641E. I have been told to get the Red-E-Set, but from this discussion I'm not sure if that's a good idea. The local dealer wants US$1000 each for the 24" segments, we would pro

They are actually diamond impregnated tips. The tip can be cleaned using a special jig. this will extend the life. these nozzles are from a machine platform dating back to 1997. The RSS can last for 1,000,000 cycles. SA and MA are similiar but requi

We have a ceramic BGA that the component supplier has misaligned the spheres in the fixture so they slant .007" out of alignment from the substrate pads. When the devices are tested at the component manufacturer this alignment issue also causes the

We use water soluble solder paste. When it gets a little dried out, can we add something to rejuvenate it? Liquid flux? We do not place components, just print and reflow the solderpaste so solderballs, spattering, and other issues like those are of

Hi, I had one of those machines older MYDATA TP9 machines once, and it should work as well for very low volume applications, although the points you raise are correct. However you should get good accuracy on fine pitch, and we noticed you need to pu

One important thing to look at, when buying an AOI is the False Calls Rate, along with tact time of machine to inspect the PCB. Obviously, many machines can do the the work....but it's also true that each machine differ from the way it do the work. S

This paste does tend to solder ball - but short of changing paste you can change your stencil to accommodate it. First, why 10 mils? Seems very thick. What size parts are your working with? Typically you can �homeplate� the R�s and C�s and this

I have seen BEC holes drilled wrong also. On a couple of products We run, We insert a Pem Nut. The insertion hole is too large for BEC to read. So We have the board house drill a small hole for each array, circuit. If these smaller holes are drilled

Another question about Set Command Variables. We use fixed dimension, multiple window PCBs in all of our UIC machines. It is often required that we use the rotary table to populate the entire panel, but this means that for each rotation, either the w

when you talk about stencil design, what would you recommend for aperture size on fine pitch if the customer insists on hasl finish on fine pitch devices? i usually use a 10% reduction on everything we have been using ( 16mil pitch and upwards and 0
