I will soon be filling an electrovert solder module which is only going to be running one (lambda) nozzle/pump. this leaves quite a bit of solder volume I am going to have to put $$ into. Has anyone here used iron bars or spacers or bricks or other

A trick I used to use doing RF design was to have on the edge of a panel, a stripline that I could hook up to a Network Analyser to check board impedance. You could do this to verify if the fault is in the no wash process or a board manufacture proce

If you suspect a short, check the resistance on a new board that hasn't been powered up. The data sheet should give you the junction resistances that you're looking for. Double check against a component not assembled on the board. If you measure a

A reading of 1 almost always means that there is something on the lens or possibly dust inside the unit blocking the laser and tricking the machine into thinking the nozzle is already down when it starts to step from the home 'up' position. Usually i

Hi its undercured solder resist which leaves a clear waxy/oily residue and can be seen as brown tar/oil in the molten solder wave. This also causes MicroSolder Balling and some snail trails of solder pick up and worst case bridging and peeling resist

Sounds like the battery or batteries inside are dead. You can just plug the input and the output on the back of the unit into each other. The ups is not needed on the machine and was only used so that you can shut down the computer properly incase th

They are probably getting a little hot. So that leaves several courses of action. 1: Don't place them before reflow and hand finish. 2: Shield them with a little folded shield to decrease heat transfer. 3: Speed up the time through the oven, but th

The AP-HIE came with paper manuals. I need to keep my paper manuals and don't have an extra, but the last model of the AP, the AP-Excel, came with manuals in PDF. I could burn a CD and send it to you. The machine use and operation is almost identi

Hi All, I have an old Asymtek AUTOMOVE 402 that actually worked pretty good. The PC died on it and I'm trying to get things running again. I have the DOS software, but I figure if I'm going to set it up I may want to get newer software. 1. Do you

Check to insure that cut outs in the PCB is not triggering the board sensor on the input of the unit. We had a few boards where the cutout in the board was seen as the end of the board and it would stop several inches from the board stop. We ended
