We have produced good results on our ACE machines. We keep 2 of them constantly busy, one for regular solder and one for pbFree. Customer service has been good as well. Be sure to use the Nitrogen feature, and invest in a N02 generator for your sele

We have many Pillarhouse Jade Mark II's in our facility. Lately design engineers have taken a liking of huge ground planes in boards. Quite honestly with topside heaters some of these boards were impossible to solder. True you can preheat with the no

I agree with Heg,and can say that I went through this process last year and ended up getting a Yestech FX series with an 8 micron camera. I haven't had any issues that they were unable to assist me with via email. There's a big market for AOI equipme

I know it's a little bit crazy, but worst case scenario is I buy a new controller, amps, software, and grudgingly maybe even servo motors. Given the cost of buying an equivalent gantry system new, this certainly is a project worth considering, even

Hello, I am pretty sure the handler is the vme card rack. Make sure in your system settings that the machine type is correct. It will not communicate if the wrong machine type is selected. What started the problem? Has anyone re-installed the softwa
