Hi, Brendan, It sure sounds like it to me. But, with the Z axis, there could be one other thing to check. On my old TP, there were z-locks...two pistons that pointed sideways around the head travel. Initializing the z-motors did not move the z-

Dear Rob, Thank you for your quick response! There were Z locks on the Midas head area, 2 little solenoids like you mentioned. Previously I had the first error code (F-AXIS-C/9) and after fiddling around, randomly manual unlock the Z locks it came

Thanks, I've been glancing at Universals, too. Knowing that they do factory refurbs is a factor. We're considering all avenues at this point. The owner likes not having debt in the company, so, cash purchases are of interest...which does lead us t

JB, Thanks for the hint on the trimmer package "rough check" box, we have used it lately for some problem parts and it is indeed handy. -- On another Samsung question I have (slight thread hijack) Is anyone clear on how the "FEEDER" rotation sett

The "correct" answer is: Use the tests and methods that you used to qualify your solder paste in the first place. That sounds good but might not be all that practical for practicing assembly-types. Here's something that's not as good, but will give

We use it almost exclusively in manual mode for PCBA failure analysis. Our main purpose is to find head-in-pillow defects; secondarily incomplete wetting of ball to substrate. In two years of almost continuous use we have only had occasion to use t

Sarason, I will send you some samples. Note, however the .pcb file has a LOT more information in that just placement data, it has vision code definitions, part specific fields such as number of pick retrys, pickup/placement delays, speeds, feeder xy

Get in touch with your paste manufacturer. They should have a data base of different oven types/zones, and can give you "baseline" settings for a medium thermal density board that has been proven to work well with their paste. After that, it sounds
