Hello, We have FCM base 2 machine (Philips-Assembelon). I am trying to find out whether it is possible to install instead vacuum pump (make noise and power consumption) venturi system. Does anyone try to do this.? What was the result.? What vent

Has anyone ever replaced the venturi vaccum pump on the CP45 or other series machine? Or used a centralized vaccum system? It works fine, but air consumption seems excessive. This is what is in there, it probably uses 10cfm at least. https://www.p

A follow up, using an external vacuum pump works fine, and reduces load on the air compresssor, probably using 1/3 of the air.

Agree with WiIIR and also can recommend to play with vaccum pump RPM . Slower vacuum increasing have help me to resolve one problem caused by the vacuum (it was solder splash from BGA balls, but the reason can be similar to your case). Also check i

The machine has a vacuum pump in it. This is what I expected also, but the machine does not have a Vac pump on it. The unit is sealed by Dage, the unit is a crystal type vacuum tube not a filament type. Regards. Darron

Vacuum Bakeout Ovens For many years vacuum bakeout ovens have been used in the hybrid industry for removal of moisture from ceramic cercuits prior to hermetically sealing packages. In this process the vacuum oven certainly reduces the bakeout cycle

"I read a study a while back by IBM that showed too strong a vacuum would cause too much moisture to enter the bags." That's what the nitrogen is for. If you pull a vacuum w/o backfilling with something dry, like nitrogen, pretty soon the vacuum ove

Never did the Linescan upgrade. Incidentally I recently needed to rebuild a vacuum pump. Pump rebuild kit consist of a coupling a couple rubber mounts and the membranes. Cost 495.00

It'll just transfer the load to your compressor, and who knows how efficient your venturi pump (which can also be noisy) will be (IOW, how much load it puts on your compressor is anyone's guess)? I'd just replace or rebuild the vacuum pump, person
