Hey all, I just though I give you all a quick update. I managed to get the printer working. The problems were a combination of everything that was discussed here. When I adjusted the GS4 pot for the histogram, I turned the wrong one at first. This t

I suggest to review your board , do both boards have fine pitch QFP's or TSSOP's? . If yes, best approach is to finish board at a time to ensure best quality . You can refer to your solder paste TDS to justify why you choose this approach.

I've gone round and round on this very subject with our manufacturing engineer. He prefers to use panel fiducials and I prefer board fids. I've seen the result in placement from bowed PCB's in the machine. Skewing the board a fraction will throw off

Not exactly SMT but something I recently did that might save you lots of time and money: Complex high $ assy that has 25+ conformal coat keep out areas - most different shapes. All locations are dimensioned on customers' print. We tried a one piec

I presume you have no vision alignment. Buy yourself a little monocular measuring microscope ( about $100 ). You are not going to get the registration you require between stencil and pcb for each print if you are running off tooling pins , edge clamp

What does easy to use mean? From operators view: - simple input menue - precise error messages with suggestions what to check first - trustable feeders - low noise - feederchange possible without stop - automatic pickup-position alignment - safety fe

Depending on model and/or series, each one has it's own specific manufacturing guidelines you must meet in order to get a successful solder joint. Then you must couple that to what your soldering process is. Assuming you are talking all thru-hole,

SWAG does make a good point. The tool he is talking about is located on setup page 1 in the vision box and is labeled FP Mode (Fine Pitch) mode. BY default the setting is "0" this means that once the machine is put into auto mode the camera or visio

Chris- you did not mention some details regarding your processes and volumes. Are you using SMT, PTH, mixed? Machinery involved (automatic vs. manual). Volumes - same 4-20 assemblies, at what periodic rate? Are you doing R&D prototypes only? High or

I second that juicy bit from brownsj, Sn96/Ag4 process is what we are using too, currently for BIB runs, dunno about current capital investments needs, coz from what I understand, our company's BIB pioneer guy, personally designed the machines in cur
