Is anyone placing 50mil pitch BGA's from a matrix tray, with a Fuji Ip2. The Issue I have is the transfer from the MTU when the part is being transfered for placment it is picked from the tray and then placed on the pneumatically actuated transfer wh

5K$. Of course I remind myself that when these machines were designed BGA's didn't exist. I had no choice but to purchase this option as a new machine was out of the question and I place around 15,000 BGA's per month on this line. So the ROI was v

Mike, I found the easiest way around your issue is to get your parts in T&R rather then trying to modify your machine. Some part manufacturers may be unwilling to T&R your part but there is always a ready and willing company whom would be happy to d
