Good morning, Thank you for assistance. I�m not so experienced with MPM maintenance. Explain me please what is the difference between �squeegee down force� and �squeegee pressure�? Squeegee pressure is set so 5-6 Kg. How can I check squeegee down fo

with lead-free solders, one would expect to find less instances of tombstoning. this is because SAC alloys are not eutectic and melt over a range of temp (usually 217-220 deg C) instead of at a single temperature. therefore the forces due to solder s

I am experiencing peel back problems when a particular component is used on a Meridian 1010 and 1020P machine. I would like to start testing this force but I need some more info. Besides GPD who else makes a tester? What industry standards can I refe

HI, just my 0,00001 cents Which preheat system does your wave solder has? for instance ? - IR ? - Bottom only ? - IR + Forced Air ? (bottom) - IR + Forced Air (bottom) IR top ? PCB thickness ? Appropriate preheat is important when looking to f

Problems like these are not caused by bad feeder quality. As described in the solution finding, the pull off forces of the cover tape are just too high. Cause is the blistertape and not the a feeder. Have you ever tested if the pull of force of the

I have some problems in sufficient preheating the pcb's. They splatter on the mainwave, causing solderballing. Less flux causes problems with the fill of the through- holes. We use a Delta Wave with 3 preheat zones, the first two are calrods the thi

Seriously, OSP?, change the board finish, you are the OEM, correct? You have the power! Also, as another poster mentioned, high force applied at ICT ( possibily to cut through the OSP goop ?!? ) could be warping the board enough to crack the joints.

We've been breaking the cover tape on components from a specific supplier. I am curious what the standard is for the peel back force range, so I can better know if it is a feeder issue or component supplier. Of course the machine vendor is blaming

We use exclusively pneumatic feeders and can NOT control the force or speed of advancement. We get a lot of components (mostly LED-type packages) that tend to flop around in the pocket a lot and are flipped on the side or “thrown” by the feeder duri

Hello, we have problem with indicator. When we manually install a spring loaded tool into the Midas head, the force remain at 180. We can't use spring tools. Can you advise me how can we calibrate the force indicator and what else should I try to fix
