George, Did you ever get to the bottom of your XY offset issue. I am a user of Protel and SMS Linecontrol, and know the system well. You probably need to find out if the Protel XY is the component center or Pin 1. The SMS Linecontrol Protel modul

Just as explained in a follow-up you are getting too much paste on the pad. The pad is probably the right size but you cant have your aperature the same size as your pad. What we have done is put a Cross in the stencil. This will reduce the paste and

I recently saw an ad in a major trade magazine that stated: �about 60%of all printed circuit board manufacturing defects are due to stencil printing� I would like to hear comments from people that are running SMT lines, is this fact and if it is, w

One thing that will also cause this is very slight stencil mis-alignment. Sometimes the paste will have a tendency to hang up in the apertures if you are over hanging just a little on the solder mask. Some solder mask are very slick and will not pull

Hi Barb, First of all I think you are looking for AOI system, not AOL. As per my experience AOI checks for present, absence of the component, wrong polarity, wrong component, misaligned component, tomb stone, upside down etc. It also looks for solde

Another this to check is the feeder itself and packaging. The feeders have a little shutter covering the part when the feeder advances. We have noticed a static charge build up in that, or the parts, causing the part to pull out of the pocket when

Hi all, currently, we are seeing BGA problem like solder ball misalign, void, solder short (all under BGA, tested with 5DX), after reflow. We examine the solder ball (raw material of BGA), and see that the ball surface is not smooth, will that affe

Hi CKH, If the problem is on the current board type only, the problem is in the fiducials or in the CAD data. If the problem remains on all boards(different product) it is definetly a machine calibration problem. Did you try to reteach the board one
