In our reflow oven it has pins which move at the predetermined speed to move the pcb through the various zones in the oven. The forward row of pins is fixed along the front of the oven. The rear set of pins is adjustable per the width of the pcb. We

Yes, it is time and temperature, but it is also speed and distance. Even though you can run a longer machine faster, the boards have a longer distance to travel and you do too, so the cycle time per board may not improve be reduced as much as you th

So.. I thought I had fixed the issue, but it seems not. The issue that was causing the fiducials to not be found, I 100% have solved. The board was not reaching the stopper before being clamped, causing the board to be a few mm's offset. I added a de

One of our GSM1 machines occasionally stops running in the middle of a program and I haven't been able to figure out what is causing it. When the issue occurs, the "BM" (bus master) light on the SYS68K card drops out (turns off, no activity) the boa

Hi, I have a semi-Auto paste stencil machine and use laser cut stainless stencil with T4 paste. When I start pasting boards the paste covers the pads and is well defined. Throughout the job we have been having some issues with feeder on pick and pl

I have worked with both Gridlock and conventional pin support mostly on DEK machines. Gridlock allows to reduce greatly changeover time in hi mix/low volume environment when switching sides on double sided boards. It also eliminates guesswork when ma

As far as the large thermal gradient I have on my thick and thermal heavy board, I've done quite a bit to minimize the gradient but not successful. it's like one pad is connected to a signal while the other pad is connected to ground, you can't bring

That error means your hydra z did not reach it's specified position. With the machine on you should be able to manually push the hydra down and let it come back up. Make sure it isn't being held up or hitting anything as goes down. Lots of times a pa

We have DEK265 and a problem with few projects. Normally it works great, but sometimes we have an issue with Alignment out of range error. Currently we have a project where after fiducials configuration in step mode printer shows an error : Align

Specs like beam voltage, current and focal point size are important considerations for image quality and you can spend hours going down the rabbit hole learning about them. Fundamentally, what really matters is if you can get an image clear enough to
