Thanks for the reply Larry, I've checked the springs and they look ok, I have swapped them just to make sure. What I have noticed while manually moving the head up & down, there seems to be a sticking point, I have checked the rails and they are clea

I'd check into the ASYS LSB-03 Bareboard Destacker. It isn't a gravity drop style. It uses edge clamps to clamp the top PCB on the stack and then drop it on the transport rail. So it doens't destack from bottom to top, it destacks from top down. We

We had 4 of these machines several years ago. If I remember right the drive that aligns the board to the stencil was stepper motors with no encoder feedback. We would see the same issue if our leadscrews and linear rails were not clean and properly

No, it isn't. Last year I paid mid fifties for a brand new 8 zone BTU. Air only, belt and rails, not a lot of bells and whistles. There isn't a ton to a reflow oven and the chinese ones have gotten pretty decent, which pushes the price down for eve

Im having trouble with and Ekra x5 machine. It works fine when up being run constantly, but if it sits for 10-15 minutes when you try to move the Y table to the front of the machine it makes a loud sound as if the table is hitting/catching on somethi

Put anything over one of the fiducials being used in the circuit, and run the board. It will stop, and on the top right a window will pop up. Click "Skip Current Module" and it will X-out that circuit. If you are using the fiducials on the rail, rath

To be fair, making lots of the same PCBAs of the same relatively low thermal mass is not particulary challenging for any of the major manufacturers if you have enough heating and cooling zones. Probably key for you would be local support for servic

One of the pieces that attaches the ballscrew on the y table to the movable rail broke. Has anybody successfully replaced the ballscrew on the 500 t table? It does look labor extensive, not having done that before, it appears to be something better l

yep, Phil nailed it. Also, don't put them in all 4 corners, or if you do, don't place them symmetrically. And keep them far enough from the edge that rail clamps won't block them. And make sure to put them on BOTH sides of a double sided board. Th

Matt, we did the study and YES perpendicular to the V-score is the worst case scenario. We did a cross section and confirmed component is cracked. If you don't have power over PCB design, the easiest way is to change board panelization or even order
