I assume you're using a no clean Pb/Sn paste, with a metal squeegee. Here are some generic procedures for good printing results for all pastes. Clean and dry the stencil well using alcohol and vigorously rubbing it with lint free towels, blow it off

Hi all, I will do my best to answer questions on MS2 here. I will try to check back at least every other day. MS2 is a new process chemical. It is not an oil or powder. It does not leave a residue; it does not mix with the solder. All SIR testing is

Hello all, I work with a company which runs a fairly small SMT department. For now, we have a "main" line consisting of a Fuji CP6-45, and a Fuji IP3, and a proto line which uses a Fuji CP4. We also use Fuji Flexa programming software. The issues

Tricky question. 1. If you are using fiducials on the snap-off areas then try and have the tab adjacent to these. 2. In many instances your tab locations will be determined by the case in which you are fitting the PCB. You don't want to be filing dow

If I understand your question, niether deals with it well. Intuitive did add an approved mfg for us which should now be a normal release in the next version, previously they only used approved suppliers which is rediculous. They are trying to support

Hi Evtimov, You need to call your manufacturer! Just joking! Sorry, but it is a "forum", which means you need to pick and choose your information carefully. Some are rookies that may give a simple or silly answer without knowing, some are seasone

I'm in the market, also, but vasilating over cost vs performance. I've also used both. In general, the LPKFs have more bells and wistles. On the LPKF S62, I love the tool magazine, and vacuum table. And, the fiducial recognition camera is great o

I don't know about industry standards - I suppose it depends on your equipment, really. We are low-volume, high-mix with many, many part numbers. Here's what we do and we have pretty good luck with it: Over-issue parts to kits; 10 over on 1206's,

Glenn, What alloy are you using for Pb-free HASL? You say tin copper nickel, but is it SN100C? Against manufacturing engineering's recommendation, my company specified simply "Pb-free HASL" as the finish for our Pb-free PCBs. One of our suppliers

Hi, It is good news to "hear" that You found the problem. This control board has also broken for us once but we had a broken camera unit from where we took this board as a replacement. Unfortunately I was not able to find the circuit diagram (among a
