"Must Have" is when it becomes a requirement from a customer. It is utterly impossible to inspect every solder deposit by eye on any board layout that is even moderately busy. I have lived without SPI and then implemented it across multiple lines. I

We are having problems with our Siemens Siplace S27 machine. The machine is giving the error - Y-axis Faulty initialization of Motor. We replaced the Y motor card and swapped also the servo control cards on the two gantries. Still will not initiali

Hello, SMT "forumers"; I have joined a company making electronic board and the storage of stencils used in SMT process is a big problem for us; paper and cardbox is not accepted by quality as is may cause contamination; ESD bullpack is too

Hi there, I'm pretty new to the SMT manufacturing stuff, please be kind. I have to mask up some parts of a stencil. Is there a recommendation for some masking tape I could use? It should be sticky enough for temporary use but not that sticky that i

If the machine was working appropriately before the hard drive failure i would lean on the issue being a configuration issue. Lots of machines have options in their software for different sized motors, limit sensors, IO configs, ext. See if you cant

Z-force sensor is a tool travel indicator. It has nothing to do with Z travel. Does the Midas head move at all, during initiation? It sounds to me like a Z motor/encoder problem. Is the Midas head ribbon cable plugged in?

It's been a minute...but, does the My9 still have MOT boards in the computer cage? If so, swap the MOTz with the MOTx or MOTy, and see if the problem moves. If so, replace the motor controller board. If not, +1 on the encoder or Z-motor. Check fo

Thanks for the response. Yes, the z motor initializes in the service program just fine. It moves and reads a position. Also in the service program, I try to test the z force sensor and it gives me the same error - no z indicator at all. All cables ar

The most annoying thing about these boxes I have encountered is that nobody seems to want to keep using the same box and the same hook for more than about 5mins, some are easy to open, some make it easy to drop the setncil straight of the bottom and

We have all Universal Instruments placement machines and one of our customer provided placement programs as pick and place file for new job. Is there anyway to extract ascii(pick and Place) file from Juki placement programs with extension .E47 and .E
