I have been able to get the machine to run by using the teach feature in Central Controller. The fiducials coordinates are there from Auto Program even though they won’t run. Another problem I have with this is the board fails the visual inspection i

The only way you will be able to measure it is to count the reel before you put it on the machine, count them when they come off and deduct the amount expected to be placed. you will then have the result of attrition on the machine. or.. Pick the p

In a previous life we burned bar-codes on PCB with a CO2 laser. Initially we placed a small white epoxy pad to burn the code into. After some experimentation we found that we could eliminate the epoxy and just burn through the soldermask and the un

I am not aware of the Nano protek flaking off. However I do believe it can wear off through abrasion. Unforunately there is no red light goes off when it has worn unless you have good paste inspection. Even when it wears it will not take you to a neg

Thomas, We evaluated several AOI machines and narrowed the field to two, YESTech and MIRTEC. We had an opportunity to work with both of these machines on our production floor. In our experience, the MIRTEC machine simply outperformed the competitive

Start with targets based on the stencil thickness (for height) and stencil thickness times the aperture size (for volume). * Set reasonable upper and lower control limits (+ 25% and –25 % of the targets, for example). * Next, check the printer set-u

In testing 63/37 SnPb NC paste I have seen HUGE differences in performance. Have you tried a different paste? I prefer AIM (NC257-2), they have performed well in each round of testing. My observations regarding mixing old and new paste: The paste ha

In my opinion, the best solution is h-towers or similar dedicated tooling designed for each build. However, a quick cheap fix is to make templates to lay in the bottom of the centernest. If you have access to CAD software, you can print out the ger
