If you go with a Quad from PPM, I believe that they've developed a windows interface for the machine. They also have a couple of old Quad people working there for continued support. --I receive no benedits from PPM, but I am a happy customer-- We

I just had the same issue, it was a corrupt fiducial file in the program that kept on loading when booted. If your vision card is working follow these steps: Reboot the machine, press F5 when the computer beeps to enter DOS, delete the file maninf.d

I assume you using a fixed mass vapour phase system? Yes rates of rise are impacted by the mass of the PCB, larger the mass to mass of vapour phase the lower the rise generally. So if you load the machine with very little mass PCB rise times can be

A huge help in the very first statement, Josh. And yes, fixed vapor mass in the machine I am currently evaluating. OK, and a machine that can change the vapor volume based on a calculation of mass of the assembly sounds logical. (whirrrr,click... a

Thanks Pete B - great info. I am currently preparing a DOE to address concerns about reflow of componentry on the bottomside of the PCB while in the vapor. Specifically cosmetics and part dropping. Bottom side has no flux, but will be fully reflow

Hello, I am in the process of setting up processes for a low volume SMT line for internal prototype production, where a 500g jar of solder paste would last weeks. Our distributors only seem to want to supply 500g jars (anything else is significantl

If it's not adhesive, try an ESD-type ionizer. The objective of an ionizer is to eliminate surface charge on insulators and on isolated/ungrounded conductors. Practically speaking, the action of an ionizer is to drive the voltage on the surface of a
