We are a small prototype small volume shop looking at getting more work that involves placing BGA's. What are the concerns or issues that we should be focusing on. We have an ABW 10 zone oven and a Mydata TP11-UFP with a SMT techniques stencil printe

First we get a "transducers out of sync" error which can be corrected when we go to the "reinitialize hardware" option in the Utilities menu. However, when it fails to initialize the error is "Xfan not working".

There is a fan on the upper rear of the machine that has to be running for the machine to initialize. i suggest lifting open the top and check the operation of the cooling fans.

We have gotten various errors that I have had to troubleshoot over the years. However, I have not seen an "Xfan not working" error. I do not know what would be causing that. Sorry.

Checked that out but all fans are running. It seems to be a heat issue. I was able to get it going the next time I started a shift.

First I would confirm that both of your X-motors and transducers are working through the service menu. After that start looking at the big power booster on the back of the machine.

The Xmotor tests just confirms that the hardware did not initialize.....unless I am looking at the wrong menu. I have external fans on the booster board and the X motor on the back of the machine as well as one blowing directly into the computer box

Thanks for this detail. The X wagon responds as per the instructions here so I'll give the cables a good inspection.

Thanks for the info. And what about accuracy of the placement. Are both machines able to handle the same parts or are there any differences like for small components or BGA?

Hello, I have found the problem. The capacitors on the PAIB board were leaking. They have even demaged some traces and vias on the PCB and the -5V supply on the PAIB board was not working anymore. Got it working again :)
