They are the mechaniclly centered machines, but they have the floppy drive installed. They are dinasuar's, but you don't have to spend millions on production lines to build boards. You never know what people have in their warehouses. I'm sure that

Brian, You are correct. With a good maintenance program and a supply of parts, you can run the hell out of those machines. I have lived your situation and understand the challenges. Making old equipment work well can be very satisfying. Good luc

If you are talking about failure analysis and machine utilization information try looking at CIMCIS. They have a wide variety of products that can help. You might not even need their services, most SMT equipment has software packages that will allre

Mark - The Waverider is a great tool. It will let you know what's going on with the machine itself - contact time in the wave, parallelism of the wave, temp, and a relative idea of whats happening in the preheat section, and conveyor speed. We hav

Pete: It sound like somewhere through all that you should have gotten good product. Here�s a couple of questions on your board: * How are the SOIC positioned relative to the wave? * How are you controlling the flatness of the second wave? * What
