I've got a scary one for you guys and desperately need your help - We just purchased a second Quad 4C and had some communication problems when we first turned it on (we're still working on that issue). To chase down the problem, we decided to start

Well, it took me a while but I had a look at some gerbers. On a PCB with neighboring 0402's 0.006" apart, and paste reduced 0.75mil on each side, I get lots of bridging. On a later rev of the same PCB, we have neighboring 0402's 0.018" apart,and pa

Why can't you place the entire job the same day you paste it? I can. But setting up and properly cleaning the stenciling machine takes 2-3 hours. We only run one shift. If we do that every day we're spending most the time on setup+teardown. Much

Couple idears for you: I've got this error when the program is jacked up, specifically component. In particular from what I remember, GSM or Advantis will give that error when a ball grid array with multiple patterns doesn't add up to a perfect mul

Sorry for delay - been flat out. Sr - I understand what you are saying. My concern is that combined with the head offsets and variations in pick points (i.e. having to teach feeder positions for very slight amounts like 0.05mm)then you cycle times wi

I tend to get issue on and off with the feeders either stalling and/or running slow/noisy. They are actually pretty easy to clean and maintain. If you take off the side panel of the feeder you will see a few gears, belts and a motor. The first thin

Our MPM Up2000 HIE is having a communication problem with any upstream machine we place in front of it...i.e. conveyor, board loader, etc. It all started when we removed a conveyor from inbetween it and a board loader, and hooked those machines up di
