Hello, The machine measures the part using the laser on the head after picking it up. It then passes or fails it by comparing it to the part size and tolerance for the pickup in the laser extents. You can see this in central controller under laser ex

Could it be possible in my Quad 4c, to increase component size tolerance to reduce the rejection of components? Could this have an impact in the event of the machine picking a component off center? As in if the machine picks a compnent off center but

Yes you can open the tolerance, and that’ll usually work for a bit. Is the LAE is linked to multiple parts? If so, then the easiest thing is to open the tolerance. If not, that’ll require another route to try. Is it happening to all of the components

I have a functional RTI 6250 AOI machine which I no longer use. My primary AOI is Yestech, and I do not see any use for the old one. The maintenance of two programs is way too much work even to just use it for presence and polarity. Has anyone else u

We successfully re-print mis-prints all of the time. We have SPI machines at every printer that let us know if it is OK or not. Sometimes dealing with the solder defect is better than cleaning the mis-print. It is very difficult not to wedge solder

It depends. Are you hand breaking them, rotary knife or linear knife? Hand break you want to be about 5mm (and it isn't a great practice even then) with a rotart knife you want to keep parts probably 3mm, especially capacitors. With a linear knife we

Close but not to close, would have to be the spec. Or depends on your separating technology. Prerouted boards on a panel, you could go right up to the edge. V-grove you will need more distance, maybe 2mm's or more. The distance from the panel edge to

We get our fids laser etched and never have fid read problems. They are black. (see attached) All of our printers are Momentums. Half etch and fill is old school. I used to take 2 part epoxy and mix black printer toner into it and squeegee the mi

Hello, my fellow SMTnet users. I've been using my Quad 4C for some time now and I come to you with a question: What's the difference in the measurement of a leaded and a non leaded component, why does it have a different function for each one (FUNC

If it is anything like the CP3 there is a programming issue that places parts that are not there, useful when you run out of parts and will be hand placing them before reflow. I don't have a machine or manual anymore but I remember the problem quite
