Hi Grant, In previous positions I've had experience with the Fuji CP43, CP6, CP642, CP643, CP65, IP3 & QP242. In operating, training and process engineering capacities. Presently, I'm working with 2 SMT lines (in a process engineering capacity) wit

Hi, Yes, it was fun reading this thread again. We initially upgraded our MY9 to a MY12 with line scan camera, but it was still too slow. We considered getting a second MYDATA, but decided to go with some FuJi XP 142, and 242 machines, with a second

Hi, I have used both MYDATA TP9, MY9 and more recently MY12. MYDATA machines are just not accurate, and we did everything possible, and every kind of upgrade they had. We ended up putting in Fuji XP based machines, and the differences are very notic

I would agree that anyone buying a new machine should run boards on it. As well I agree with almost everything you said. We did run boards on a Mydata machine. If we were shorter runs and higher mix I would have bought one. We paid a local comapny a

There are many factors that can lead to solder balls. Since you have just recently seen this start to occur, it is obvious something has changed in the product or your process. Since we don't have a lot of details about your process, I would sugges

I know I have posed this question before, but I would like to open this discussion again. We do several change overs through the course of three shifts on our CP642 line. When we start a new job, we have tons of tape feeder overlay problems.(The over

Funny how these things are. I see more PACE equipment on the shelf and on EBAY. I've seen hundreds of the Zephyrtronics units in Raytheon myself...all being used and on very, very large boards. I believe that they actually have a far larger selection

Grant, I know of a couple places that throw their paste out at the end of the day. I have worked in SMT for over 15 years and we have never thrown paste out unless it was contaminated, or dried out. We have never had a problem. If you ask me, I would

From my perspective, regardless of the size of your company, you want the best value for your money and latest, greatest in innovation. For pick and place, while Mydata, Siemens and Assembleon/Yamaha all have some cool and worthy concepts and worth e

Thanks for providing the pictures. We evaluated what we could see and have the following idea's. 1) Because of different thermal charatoristics between the topline and your product, your Motorola BGA solder joints may have experienced a higher refl
