You're on the right track. 99% of the time, it is caused by a feeder not seating correctly. Check and ensure that all your tape covers are down and LOCKED (very important). Which type of feeders are you using Q or K? One thing I have found with K

I've had that issue before, here's how you fix it, or at least it worked for me. Also assuming you didn't destroy a shaft, which should be obvious. Follow the flexible vacuum tubes to the top of the hydra shafts, you should see a red light below the

We are currently using a Mydata TP18 UFP to do placements on boards 520 mm x 460 mm. The table is expandable and Mydata was boasting of a custom table that was 820 mm x 540 mm. One drawback of our machine is that it is a stand alone machine, so han

As a basic guide the minimum spec you should look for is 500g you should achieve a force on most chip parts of 800-1000g. Parts are lost on wave soldering due to no material, poor curing, poor surface adhesion and poor handling. Its not the wave sold

Hello All! I've been asked to change a current design using a shield. Currently we build it by using silver epoxy adhesive to make electrical connection. Just wondering if anyone out there has a experience with using surface mount clips that hold

My first thought is board warp. This is something you can't see when the board is in a reflow oven. I see it occasionally going through wave solder. You may need a pallet with hold down clamps for reflow. Try putting a bare board in a baking oven at

Unfortunately it's nc or we'd be worrying about this on the fly. Non-contact is defintely and issue....this is an 18"x9" board with 1500 bottom side SMT parts that are scattered among the through-hole and vice-versa. We're currently using 7 hold-

Our TP9 UFP machine keeps nicking the edges of A12 tool tips. I think it is because the X axis is bouncing when it comes to the component pick position. When the X bounces it is causing the tool to hit the tape hold down arm. Has anyone ever encount

if you cannot spend any money I would say that you either need to add rails or try to increase the squeegee pressure to hold down the stencil while it prints those close pads. But...... Can you put PCB onto some type of carrier that would move thes
