No nozzles!!! Cool!!! We buy nozzles, like jelly beans. In a low volume, high mix shop how does the total cost of ownership match-up with a high-end air rework station?

Sounds pretty much like the sensors/amplifiers need tuned on your machine. It is a fairly straightforward exercise to do this. The sensors basically look at the back of the chucks to determine which nozzle is in the lowest position and therefore whic

Hello All, My first visit here. I own and operate a small Industrial & Consumer Electronics Service Shop. There is more and more modules with high density fine pitch SMDs that we cannot handle. We bought PACE ThermoFlow BGA SMD station with a bunch o

Rob, .06mm to .1 mm is slicing the bologna pretty thin. Grab ahold of your placement shafts and physically pull back and fourth on them. There should no play. There are also sliders at station 1 and the placing station 11.(I think 11 is place) Make

I had a PDR Lightmaster Pro at the last place I worked at, and I thought it was the best rework station I've ever used. Not only because of the fact that no nozzles were needed, but the heat delivery from the focused IR light was superb. I don't know

Ron, We use 100 pin straddle mount connectors on some of our 1.6mm boards (up to eight per board.) They come to us from the vendor with a bead of solder on the somewhat 'J' shaped leads. Our process is as follows: Mount connector to board with hard

I found a bad solenoid and replaced it solenoid 15 on station 11. The machine is still erroring out. I also checked the holders and sensors and they seem to be ok. This error occurs when ever the machine tries to change nozzle sizes on any holder. T

Hello All, I've got a little problem here. I have a 456 ball PBGA 1mm pitch, .5mm balls, with .6mm pads on the board. given that the pad size is way to big (S/B .45mm or so)I need any and all advice on how to rework these things without shorting o

The DRS systems are far superior. They don't compete with ERSA or Metcal. The nozzle technology, heaters, and software are so much better. I would find a used DRS22C and use it before those other systems. The vision system in the DRS22 is great
