Ours does not have a vacuum option so that may be it, the machine came with an assortment of standoffs and support plates as well. it is not drilled out in a grid but does have the center tapped which I assume is for the vacuum tooling. Ours has a

TIM I AGREE WITH U BIG TIME. I CANT STAND THE MPM SCREEN PRINTERS. MY DIMINUTIVE COLLEAGUES SWEAR BY THE MPM - SOMETIMES LITERALLY HA-HA-HA-HA-HA - BUT DEK'S HAVE FEATURES GREAT FEATURES THAT MPMS DON'T HAVE. THE SOFTWARE ROCKS! LOVE IT!

I am not sure Ersascope and X-Ray will tell you the results you are looking for. My experience with x-ray has proven that misalignment, voids, and bridging are really the only failures that can confidently be observed. You may have solder in place,

Hey, I've seen a lot of AP25's with snuggers. I don't know if they all came with the pneumatics or not..but if you have the snugger reg. guage, just underneath the Z table, you should be okay. The fellas at goppm (www.goppm.com) have a lot of knowl

Well, you have Fuji's now, that's a good argument to stay with them. Your maint. guys will like it too. Plus, depending on size of MyData, you may have to really re-adjust your line(s) to fit em'. I'm not bad mouthing MyData, I think they are gr

I am not sure what the smallest aperture is that I have. I can tell you that I remember the area and aspect ratio (for apertures) being quite a bit lower than standard on quite a few stencils. We only order Invar on stencils that fall below ratio..

They are very long with lots of feeder positions & have a fast tape loading mechanism. They are also easy to use and upgrade, and are cheap on the second hand market. However, on the flip side they are slower (the hydra figures are just dreaming as

We use preprinted labels and laser coding. For PCB we laser mark with CO2 (NdYAG for the aluminum heat spreaders). We either have an epoxy legend to burn out or we burn the solder mask to expose the copper ground plane underneath. Laser is a much
