Rob, I'm also in the evaluation stage. I've seen demos of the MVP ultra, Landrex Optima, VI-1000 (vi-technology), and the YesTech YTV-2050. I've also researched about eight others as well. Including Agilent, Orbotech, Omron, Cyberoptics, Viscom, GSI

Hi Lupo, The MVT Supras we had far out performed the Omron systems on fault detection & false calls, and were nearly 1/3 of the price. But it depends also on what operator skill & dilligence you have to make sure the data goes in accurately & is tr

Russ, By a longer profile you mean a more even slope across the entire profile. Unfortunately I only have a 5 zone oven that is fairly short. How many heated zones are you using? Did you shrink the 0402 pad design and leave less pad exposed out a

Agilent SP50 rocks for continuous improvement and pass-fail efforts. You'll see variation you never imagined you had prior. But be aware you absolutely have to monitor data and tweak your processes to improve results. Do not jump in and try and use

Proper care and calibration of feeders helps the most. Once repeatability of position is gone the machine's feeder offset will start to resemble the agility of a drunken sailor. That can manifest itself in vision errors or worse as placement problems

Hi All, I see more and more components like QFN or LGA with bottom-only terminations,with landpatterns getting finer all the time. I have no ppm-figures of our process, but based on a benchmark study by Agilent I'd say that 500 ppm is a decent value

Any and all input will be greatly appreciated. So here it goes. I'm having an issue where the cad I'm getting from customers is referencing pin 1 as the parts placement. This isn't an issue for surface mount, however the aoi machine that we have in

Hello Lou, As a high-mix low-to-mid volume manufacturer, you will need to concentrate on equipment that may be progammed very easily, with very quick debug time from assembly to assembly. I have worked with Agilent in the past, and one of my collea
