90% of the battle with thermal profiling is your thermocouple attachment. That is Process Engineering 101. It's just like painting your house. The masking and prep work will make or break the end result. KIC did a DoE on which thermocouple attach

I have seen a Spark 400 at Apex Show. It appears to be a good Machine to do rework on BGA and others. I have used a SRT Summit 1100 Machine to do most BGA Reworks and want to have a Machine which can do rework better. Does anyone has any knowledge

Hi TMC, It's very unlikely that you'll get a temperature variation of 32 degrees by varying the top and bottom heaters - especially if it's forced air convection, as if it's a half decent system the hot air will be circulating in the zone, pretty qu

TMC, Are you interested in this approach because you only have a flat belt conveyor and want to keep the components from being moved by the belt on the second pass? If so, you might try adding some stiffeners to the board edges to stand the board o

Trying to convince management to buy TPSys 2.4 software upgrade for MY-12 and My15 machine. Currently running 2.2 ver. Any mydata user's out there explain how my company would benefit jumping from ver 2.2 to ver 2.4. I think the cost is $1200 per m

No problems with ver 2.2 that I'm aware of. I'm in process eng. and part of my job is review the machine's capabilities. From what i read, Ver 2.3 & 2.4 software was designed to speed up setups and changeovers.I understand the auto teach functions is

So then to justify the 2400, you will need to calculate the decreased time for setup/changeover and what that costs your company. this will be justification. e.g. if it takes half as long to setup you save half the money. labor hours x employee co

I sure haven't JEM. Was just trying to help determine how to justify. Funny things about those claims like barcode scan, yes they help but now you need a pronter to print barcodes, an operator to put them on, etc... So is it a help? just an exampl

Well the first thing you should know is once Mydata comes out with a new version, the older one is done. We have upgraded to the 2.4.4 and it it was well worth it. We increased our speed because the Agilis LM magazines are faster. Mydata always adds

Hi all, Has anyone any experience they can share with regard to pad dissolution on PTH's on thick boards. We are using lead free SAC305 on both OSP and Immersion silver finishes and are experiencing difficulties when removing and replacing connector
