I am unfamiliar with the Philips Saphire. I am needing to know if the feeders That work on our Topaz and Emerald will also work on a Saphire. I assume that they would just because the feeders are being sold as "Gem" feeders. In addition, Is anyone a

Good Morning, I have an application that we are tooling up for that has several LGA (Land Grid Array) components. The Gerber files from the customer has a solder paste definition of 1:1 to the pad. As I look at this part, I cannot believe that this

Well, since you distinctly said *any* help.... as far as I know all of the GEM machine can use the original feeders, but there are as I understand it some newer smart models available for the X series machines. All I've actually used is a Topaz, th

I have not had problems with ENiG panels, but they were made state side. We had Trace Labs cross-section them and found no problems. Whats this about yellow nails? Mine are full of grease from constantly having to fix the Jeep. I would try to pop my

Hi, We have had a few vendors push automatic solder paste inspection devices on us in the past, and I have resisted until now. However we have a new product with a micro BGA on it, and I am worried about yield, so am considering it seriously for th

Automatic on your screen printer is worth it. Having it off line or seperate machine is not, depending on your volume of product. If you have the time to pull product and measure each and every pad, then go for it. Feel sorry fot that operator whe

As you know 90% of defects come from the printer. This product is well worth the investment. You will improve yeilds and reduce rework. Very important with micro BGA's. Also lead free components do not self center (during reflow) as well. There is ve

Wow, 90%? I've only been doing this 20 some years and never noticed! So buying an inspection machine gets rid of my defects? I should have bought one long ago! I don't think so. I won't even go into the lead free area.....
