I have worked with the PDR type rework station on and off for 12 years and have found that the IR can offer a lot of advantages over hot air. As was mentioned the lack of nozzels is a great advantage. The back heater takes a while to warm up but on

The AOI machines are basically to replace human inspectors. They certainly do a better job. First you have to look at why is there so much inspection. Usually its becuase people have no confidence in thier processes or lack the knowledge to create an

Stefan- This is the hardest time I have had finding a job. 85% of my response has been through my network of contacts. My current position I had been working on for 4 months. Advise- Utilize all of your contacts be it industry, church, neighbors, or

One diagnostic tool that I have found useful in the past is the "hot plate test". Place suspect components and/or PCB's on a hot plate and turn it on High. Then observe. Granted the conditions on the hot plate are not the same as in a reflow oven,

Get in touch with your paste manufacturer. They should have a data base of different oven types/zones, and can give you "baseline" settings for a medium thermal density board that has been proven to work well with their paste. After that, it sounds

We have this Robot. We have the large table model from Fancort. We have incorporated the machine into a process where it finishes up the through hole soldering that the selective soldering machine cannot reach effectively. About 2200 joints done wit

I've been struggling trying to get our TP9 machine to place 8-dfn package parts. One of our primary assembly contracts uses a SOIC8 but the pad design accommodates an alternate 8-DFN part and sometimes we have to go to our alternate part due to lead

The error is: MOT-Command/205: Motor speed out of control Motor speed deviates from expected speed. – Problem with power supply, motor current too low. – Mechanical problem, friction too high or tool stuck in Z. I'd be looking at excessive friction

Yes, this is a good point and really only time will tell just how reliable such a machine becomes. What I'm aiming for is to simplify and reduce the number of sub-assemblies. For example we are building the camera/vision processor and lighting into
