Hi, The machine is a Universal GSM1 flexhead. Is it possible to just change the lens of a 2.6mil camera for a 1mil or 0.5mil lens. Or do I have to buy a complete camera assembly to do this? Thanks, Grant

GEB - We have a 1.0 mil camera for GSM1 that we do not use. We would prefer to have a 2.6 mil on our machine. Are you interested in a trade?

Where are you located? Along the same lines, I have a trick I used a couple times when replacing a camera. It is often not the image sensor that goes bad, but the camera electronics behind the sensor. I have had luck taking the camera apart but le

Your IC's should run great. I have changed out a handful of cameras inside the box (you know when your camera is burning out because the monitor will show black/gray horizontal lines). It's pretty easy. Aftermarket cameras are about $350 I believe

Interesting... where are you based? I am in the UK. What types of components benefit from having a 2.6mil over a 1mil?

Good Morning Mark, I do not believe that you can group images from multiple cameras. You can save a camera image into the library but you would need to re-name the part number for the side camera if you have an image from the downward looking camera

We are in North Western U.S. I like 2.6 better (for our mix of builds, anyway). 1.0 works great on PTF parts such as fine pitch QFP's but I don't like it for chips. It's too picky and we wind up forcing parts to the 4.0. We have another GSM dual

Thanks for the info. I use the machine with a 1mil for resistors and capacitors and the machine with the 2.6mil for ICs (both have a 4mil.) This is because the r's & c's seem to benefit from the 1mil, more than IC's. I was thinking of making the mach

We had a camera die on one of our GSMs. I got a new camera, and it is working, but I need to either find a cal kit to rent for a day, or else if someone knows a reasonably accurate procedure to calibrate the new camera using the other upward looking
