When we were looking for machines we were looking at some of the same brands but ended up going with Assembleon Opal XII. They have since been replaced by another model. We have been happy with them. Have not placed any BGA's but 0402's are not a pro

RK, what are you trying to remove? What are you trying to remove it from? And, what type of equipment do you have? Generically, I suggest a saponifier, related to other aqueous chemistries, is associated with: -- higher PH -- need for effective che

Hi, We have a Quad IVc set up with all picks, placements, and sequence working. I have managed to get through several passes with some pain, mainly from SOT-23 parts, but it is getting better. On occasion, when picking from one of three feeders loc

Hi all, A quick question to see if anyone can solve my issue. We are having problems with a particular board we run through our wave solder on a pallet. The board is populated with about 20 fuse clips, and one clip on almost every board gets fille

The only thing I see that might be a fuse is the green vertical axial leaded component next to the third from the bottom white 4-pin header. It's labeled ?718 or 710. I don't know if this is a resistor or a pico fuse. You can try to ohm it out. An

I worked for Electrovert for 20 years as a machine designer. Our first computer controlled solder machine the Century 2000 used Infra red pyrometers that were very accurate - once you calibrated it against what you wanted to measure. So the aim and s

So you are saying that building to class III is going to prevent failures? I disagree. Class III is trying to hit target condition in every aspect of the production of the circuit board. That my friend does not ensure failures from happening. I see

We'd like to help you, but we don't have a clue of what you're talking about. * Which 'heatseal' machine are you using? Is that a reflow soldering machine? See, we think of a heatsealing machine as one that bond the two sides of a plastic bag togethe

They must sell parts and support machines for 7 years after the date they last built it. The registation fee is on the edge. If you can find that they supported any customer and did not charge for it then you have a good case against them. The proble

TP9 machines are good, but old machines. We ran a TP9 for many years. As the machine got older it required more and more maintenance and had more frequent small issues similar to what you are seeing. We only saw 1 of your 4 issues specifically whi
