Try to get hold of the Philips/Assembleon Cad2Cad program, it is (or was) free. You can import several (proprietary) file formats and centroid files and export it as VIOS text-files. All you need to do then on the machine is assign the correct compon

It's quite a big cap so try taping over about 25% of both apertures to restrict the volume of paste printed then see what happens. Also, is anything interfering with the part during placement? or are you 100% sure it's going into the oven ok? if no

Hi, We used the 1 mil for 0402's etc. Admittedly most of our experience was on 2.6 & 4 mil as we mainly used the GSM's for oddform & fine pitch, but we found that the smaller chips went down better & more accurately with the smaller camera. Oh yeah

Thanks everybody for your comments. I am not going to move to stencil waterjet cut. But because recently talk to people who want to move in that way, so that's why I am trying to get infos as much as it possible in order to learn what does it mean a

Are You planning to produce a RoHS compliant product? If You just are going to reflow non RoHS compliant components with a "RoHS oven profile"; make sure that the comps. can withstand the higher solder temperature. As we see it; it is a big reliabil

Yes, let the nightmare begin. Most electrolytic caps will not meet the 260 minimum and many will not even make 250. These do not meet IPC J-std-020 standards for lead free soldering. I had one batch of LF boards go through with a spec. of "not

Agreed....Rob....and also Ken its unfair to blame the team when the owner wants a 1980 station wagon to run at 250 mph!!!!! The greatest nascar team would have problems making that happen. And even when you explain....that you need a corvette to go 2

Ken is not of this World! His equipment and "Programming Team" is perfect. The rest of the world uses "sticky" boards when programming. "ALL" the big guys...Panasonic, Fuji...etc suggest using the "sticky" method beofre running any production boar
