Good afternoon, We use both brands. Speedline�s latest printing machine generation is as good as DEK. It�s my humble opinion only. But AP 25 vacuum support system starts to fail even with fine pitch. Thanks for your input anyway. BR, Pavel

Mydata machines are very solid. They are always upgradable since the base machine is essentially the same. Recent advancements in camera and feeders have increase placement speed. However, this is generally not the machine you would select and expect

Stick with what you and your production people already know...........Fuji. Between new and used Fuji equipment on the market, you can do a lot better and with a lot less money than you think as opposed to new Mydata or UIC. You will be compromisin

We are in the early stages of converting al of our customers to No-Clean solder. I expect some customers to have no objections, others I am sure will be concerned about the "residue." I know that chemistries have improved greatly and if the process i

We use (and have for some time) used No-clean on our radio boards with no problems. We also conformally coat with a platinum catalyzed, addition cure silicone coating with occassional problems. These silicones are prone to cure inhibition or retard

>We have looked at a few, and some use the removal time to >>calculate the placement time, which seems like a good idea. The problem with this method is that you can't develop an accurate removal/installation profile. You are removing a component a

If it might go in a clean room you will want to look at if the system cuts the paper tapes. In the old days there was no vacuum at the cutter and around the machine would accumulate white dust from the machine cutting the tape for each component. The

I would concur about clean room problems especially with a high mix changeover environment. Paper tape is horribly dusty and just the cover tape pulling away generates a lot of dust. There was a day when everyone said paper was on the way out for
