SMAINTECH, Good Morning, We have installed the Gridlock tooling pin with stealth mode on our DEK's. It is a hard tooling pin array that resets the height if the pin for every board. The pin comes up until it comes into contact with something then lo

This is why I don't like DEK, I had better experiences with MPM. Its much better operating and using machines when you dont hate the manufacturer and feel like they are trying to rip you off every chance they get.

We have a surface mount connector from Hirose that has two through hole mounting pins on the side. The solder is wicking up the pins into the body of the connector during reflow, even with adjustments to the PCB solder mask which came directly direc

We are having a small number (~2%) of our boards pass our manufacturing diagnostics, fail once they reach the customer, fail when they get back to us and then start working again after handling them for a short time. We have eliminated a lot of item

Folks, I think we are getting closer to being very happy with DEK stencil printers of the 265 GSX variety. However, problems continue arising concering fine pitch autoflex tooling pin breakage. We are told by the British engineering establishment,

We currently have the first version of formflex and had nothing but problems with the pins sticking. Dek now has a new version which is supposed to have eliminated the sticky pin problem. These will be replacing the first generation formflex. Until w

There is a new tooling invention called the Instant Fixture System. It is a mechanical "cartridge" style dense pin-array system. There is a kit for MPM-UP 2000, and AP Series, and also for DEK-265 platforms. This instant fixture system offers very

I have worked with MPM and GSP (fuji) and the DEK. I have had the least problems with the DEK. Kept having software issues with the MPM although I have heard some having good experiences. We used the GSP for the through hole but needed new vaccum

Another test to consider is dye penetrant analysis. The technique involves flooding the area beneath the soldered part with dye (preferably a bright color, like red). After drying the board+dye in an oven, you peel or torque the part off and inspec
