Software, software, software. It always seems to be related to any hardware issues we experience with our systems. Can you expound on "crash?" How does the software crash, what are the symptoms. Does it just lock up and become unresponsive, camer

I can explain our kitting process which was heavily software managed. For our Chipshooters we grouped setups of the optimum algorithym for less carriage movement, and grouping part numbers as much as possible. This was done with some high dollar sof

Hi all, Why doesn't the ATT teach all the same part numbers some times? The PCB I'm working with has several resistors 0805. I place the footprint over the part and sometimes it goes to all resistor of the same part number. But then I teach another

Conformal coat bubbles using 1B73 and SC-205 nozzle I've read most of the posts on this subject. I'm using the SC-205 (airless) fan nozzle and 400 needle to apply 1B73 mixed with xylene thinner. I have micro bubbles which come directly out of the noz

A simple trick I read either here or on another P&P forum is to use "Silly Putty". Place a small thin spot of Silly Putty on the top of the front conveyor rail, and put the machine in "manual" mode. Steer head #1 over the putty and lower it, leavin

Does someone with technical knowledge knows what exactly happend with the solder paste after the shelf life pass? What we have seen is sometimes flux separation which disapear after a good mix, and change of viscosity i.e. drying. The tin, silver and

Hello all! Here's my issue: I've been assigned to make a programming fixture for a contract product we've been making. We're ramping up to 300+/month so it's becoming necessary to have more permanent fixtures. Usually, when programming, we have a

I have no knowledge into PCB designing with surface mount components, all my experience has been with through hole components. I now have to design PCBs using surface mount parts. I have a few questions I was hoping someone could answer. Can a PCB w

Reese, Thanks for the response. I agree with all of your comments, and actually we have SMT capability now. I also worked previously for a company for 20 years where we done primarily SMT and through the years phased out as much TH as possible, espe

When we were looking for machines we were looking at some of the same brands but ended up going with Assembleon Opal XII. They have since been replaced by another model. We have been happy with them. Have not placed any BGA's but 0402's are not a pro
