The Z-axis Drive card on our MPM UP2000 HiE fried. We replaced it with a new card, setting all the jumpers to match the old card. After that we had to recalibrate the Z-axis and the snugger height but the problem is that the camera is now too close t

Does any one know how far left or right from center the aperatures can be? If I had a 6" board, and a stencil with cut-outs for both sides right and left of center, would I have problems?

I mean if you are using the same stencil for the top and bottom of a board. Thanks to everyone for the help. From what I gather, it will work when the stencil cut-outs are offset from center in the Y-axis. Doesn't work too good in the x-axis, beca

Does Ekra or MPM require stencil fiducials be filled with Black Max or some other black epoxy? We still require our stencil supplier to do this. I did not have to do this on any Dek solder printers since 1997. Can the MPM UP2000 HiE fiducial light

Keep in mind; if you're building warped or twisted boards, do NOT use the Grid-lok system on them, as they tend to conform to the bend or twist of the underside of the PCB, so it will not flatten or straighten out much at all when it's brought to the

If your frame size is 730mm x 730mm then you can't move it left or right. If it smaller than that then the frame adapter will give you more leeway. I am not too sure by what you mean by "If I had a 6" board, and a stencil with cut-outs for both side

FYI: MPM does in fact offer alternate board support tooling than the vacuum box system. They have the X and Y snugger tooling, which clamps the board and uses magnetic support pins. If you are looking at a used UP2000, check to see what tooling it ha

|As the squeegee shears the paste at the face of the stencil the vehicle used to contain the solder spheres compresses and expands out the top of the opening after the squeegee passes. This is 1 or 2 mil at most. The peaks should not be considered

Hey everyone, Does anyone out there use a solder paste height measuring system ? I would like to know what the standard is for paste height compared to stencil thickness and how you use it as a process tool. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Steve.

We have talked about using mircoscopes and laser thingies for measuring paste height on SMTnet previously. [Fine SMTnet Archives might give background.] Some people use a 0603 chip cap as a standard. I'm not sure how stencil height relates. Paste
