Don't go down that route, Juki cut spares support a few years ago on these. Although bits are available from China, you do not want to be swapping used cards. They are both also dog slow in real life whatever you do to them. Especially a 760. We'r

You want 1)Used 2)dirt cheap 3)no hassle. Item 3 is mutually exclusive to items 1 and 2... On a more serious note, both Juki and UIC make excellent equipment which is why there are so many dinosaurs still in the field. There are plenty of people in

Reckless that's easy : Tabletop units are a joke, you could just as well go build one yourself with a toaster oven and a controller, the results won't be great but at least you won't have spent $5k on one with a ssnazzy screen. "Hulking Units" - wel

We are using ECD OvenRIDER to validate our reflow ovens on a weekly basis to have the data to show our customers that the board we ran 3 months ago saw the same oven condition as the one ran yesterday. Cp/ Cpk is calculated by ECD using a manually i

When the PCB is finished, it must be mainly tested. Mark the broken plate of the short-circuit broken wire, or SMT may fix you later. In the case of Mosaic, the same location of the bad packaging together. Next is SMT welding commonly, want to look f

Visit the machines, get your quotes. Establish what you need, make sure you understand the running costs of each, the availability of service personnel & parts - see who wins. The answer won't be the same for everyone. Also see which software you lik
