Problem with cleaning these machines is once you start it's easy to get carried away. ;) We cleaned our SPA-400F a few months ago, had been offline for a while as we were using our SPA-250. It started as just a clean and to replace all the flux pip

Hi there. We’re Solder Otter, a team of recent engineering graduates from the University of Waterloo in Canada that is redesigning the soldering iron so soldering electronics can be safer and simpler. You may have seen the survey we posted back in 2

Mervin, Love these machines, Speedline built about 3500 of them so I have lots to fix. Most issues come down to incorrect use or poor adjustment and alignment. Your description is a little vague, you didn't mention which direction the prints are of

Update 6 Oct 15: We have completely re-configured the oven PID boards such that everything is now visible on the oven by the s/w and all is now OK since the "Machine"card is now recognized. We have just one additional procedure to do and that is

You can do the so called "Golden Sample" with defects from the process. The making of the defects on the board is very important to be as much close to the real ones from the production. How I do it - after the printer I remove paste on some pads, so

You are correct about KY having the lions share of 3D AOI in the industry. They were 2-3 years ahead of everyone else to entry, but the gap is closing quickly as the overall capability of KY does not justify their higher price. On the SPI front, Cyb

Don't blame it on the poor paste thickness requirement [although I might go on to argue that it's could be a contributor to the issue]. Most likely you're the problem. About 70% of the time solder on gold fingers is caused by poor cleaning of screen
