My favorite kind of calibration is where the machine learns what it did incorrectly. Then fixes itself! However, there are many types of machines that rely on human feedback as to the results of what it did. nozzle calibrations involve many factors

Does anyone have a better way of holding large reels for the Mycronics machine? The arms are quite expensive so I currently use an ESD bin with a rod in the middle. It's kind of a pain when you need to change a reel. I saw a really cool bin, but the

Feeders for your SMT machine. They can be a considerable expense, and you will hardly ever have enough if you have a high mix of products. You will wear out nozzles on the pick and place also. I don't see AOI in your machine list, so at least you wil

Sam, Cyber Optics inline paste measurement machine is probably the easiest to program, maintain, and operate but it does have some drawbacks in my opinion. It is slower than some other machines on the market. This might not be a problem unless

I guess we should differentiate between machine calibration, process reliability measurements and process capability study. For the machine calibration you use the machines own optical cameras, but for cpk or standard deviation you measure the place

Barcode/scanner configuration can still lead to wrong parts mostly when changing reels. The root cause is still the line operator, because instead of scanning the newly set-up reel, he/she scans the old reel because 'it's easier' for them. I have wor

If you refer to having wrong resistor or capacitor value, the only way is to automatically measure the part value. Mycronic pick and Place machines do it on the fly, ASM machines have feeder where part is measured....other main brands probably have

After I create the pick & place program on the pick and place machine (Assembléon, recently aquired by kulicke and soffa), we generate setup sheets for the operator which lists what component goes into what feeder. Upon loading a tape & reel in the f

Check into Bartector. Used this solution for 15 years at a previous employer. As long as your parts are labeled correctly (correct part number matching the mfg part number) then Bartector will have the operator scan the feeder to the part label. I

Fellows, We are considering getting an AOI machine to inspect boards that our vendors are giving us (we outsource the assembly of PCBAs). We have low volumes of boards, but every time a defect does slip by our human inspectors, it causes a lot of
