Hello all, Finally ready to run my first 14 up array and the machine picks up the part moves to the placement location, them moves to home and drops the part. The Z axis never moves. I do get a "run error 1" at about the 4th placement (if it was a

I'm with Chunks on this. In my experience MPM's are very accurate and reliable. There are so many out there because people like them. You can make a program with 2D inspection in about 10 minutes. Things do sometimes break on the 3000's, but not

I have a wave machine (offshore made) with internal spray fluxer configured with a conventional spray gun set up. In order to spray fluid (in this case, flux) I must set the air pressure at 0.3 mPA (43 PSI). At that pressure, my flux sprayer creates

See if the solder is leaving the pad(s) and is wicking up the component. This is long shot but I have seen something similar to this possibly in a wave process. We had a very thin board and a very large QFP on top. During wave operation the solder

"The fluid sometimes heats up to 105 deg F." Not sure what you mean here...is it set at 105 but rarely gets there, or is your temperature dependant upon another process to heat it up? Also, what temp is your rinse water? We used to use a U/S clean

Think you will find every mpm is operating on dos base software, just in the last 2 years have they got software with windows base. The mouse is related to the version of software, and the old software requires only one model of mouse. Give up tryi

We are a small CM doing mostly prototype and small production runs SMT and PTH. We have an old Hollis machine works well when we need it. The foam level does not come up to the board level, even with the air cranked up full. We are using a synthetic

Good morning everyone, Our IP3 head 1 is making a loud squealing noise, sometimes bad enough to hit the e-stop as it locks up. This started over the weekend so I don't have all the facts. When I manually move the Z spindle up and down by grabbing

Tough call without seeing the board, but here's my best guess. You don't say if the glue dot is greater in height or diameter in the locations where you have printing (silkscreen), but I would guess that you might get either, or both, depending on ne
