It's been a long time, but if I remember correctly, the BX has higher resolution cameras. The software is the same so the learning curve will be minimal, but due to the higher res cameras, you won't be able to move programs from the B3 to the BX. If

New to this forum and AOI. After an exhaustive search and review my company purchased our department a Mirtec MV-3L desktop AOI system. We use a combination of SMT and through-hole components in our product. I am currently learning to program th

I have had good experience with the 6500. We used it to inspect both SMD and TH devices. (presence, polarity, correct part) I would suggest you contact CR (now Phton Dynamics) for the latest software. It has some serious improvments over early rel

We have just got involved in conformal coating, with mixed results. We are machine spraying and have experienced various machine issues. Another one was the consistency of the material being sprayed, we mixed it ourselves (badly?). We now buy it pre-

We made huge leap from a Zevatech to a My9 three years ago and have been very happy. The MY9 beat out Siemans and Philips for the honor. I am always looking for used MY9 and would buy one without hesitation having gotten over the learning curve. We

I worked for a company with a Mirtec. It's a great machine. The sales guy kept going on about needing a golden board. But if you program very carefully and verify each part as you add it to the library, you don't even need a golden board. If you ha

We have 2 Mirtec machines. The learning curve is steep, but once you get over that the machine is very valuable. I must disagree with the commenter who said the support is poor. While the answers we rcvd differed from person to person at first, Mirte

Some production problems we've faced: 1) Delamination; 2) Reflow fixture distortion; 3) Obsolete parts; 4) Failure of blower motor bearings in older reflow ovens; 5) Poor toe fillets with miniSOTs on thicker PCB's; 6) Lack of updated component data s

The only sophisticated customer I have is 100% ROHS and actually spec.s material and properties for the fab.'s. The rest have mostly just called in and requested we process ROHS without having to change the drawings or provide a spec. nary a complain
