Thank you for the reply, MPMEng. I received the Speedline UPG-026/27, but it actually came with the incorrect mouse. Since original post I've contacted seller, received correct mouse, successfully installed drivers, encountered a new issue. At thi

So I had the same question too when I was setting ours up. My lazy (and cheap) solution was: for each program I have a universal path that is used up to the first dispense instruction and after the last one then I covered the surfaces underneath tha

From my notes ... "Durastone is some of the nastiest material i have ever worked with, first of all i will suggest using a mask and long sleeve shirts and don't do anything to try to get the fiber glass out of your body... take a cold shower and slee

Agreed. We machine all our pallets in coolant. No dust but a big mess still results in the bottom of the CNC. You'll burn through a thousand cutters if you try it on a router table. Just doesn't seem feasible. You'd have to take like 0.020" dept

Hi guys. I'm dealing with 3 MPM Ultraprint 3000 machines in our plant that were showing different issues. I managed to solve most of them but one is killing me and I can't seem to solve it. It's a 3000 HiE model... Basically, the machine seems to be

We have a Samsung that we have replaced all the amps and are still getting the Z axis motor alarm failure. On the “Position Window” before and after we try to “Home” the machine, the values for “Z-Axis” for all three heads prior to the “Home” action

Sr. Tech, Just think about it. How do you clean your stencil after you finish the job? Dry wipe and put it on the shelf? Dry wipe will work to some extent for simple boards, but your stencil will never be perfectly clean like if you use solvent. You

Hmmm.... When I clean my stencils after I run a job, it is to clean the paste off the stencil so it doesn't dry out in the apertures and on the stencil surface while it is being stored. Wiping the stencils during production is to clear the paste of
