I would definately try to sell the bosses on the Grid-lok over the gel piggies. We evaluated both and wound up buying the Gel (for close to the same money). On an MPM if you put enough gel packs in the vacuum box (to support the board) it holds the b

Your solder paste is talking to you, follow its message. Listen to the paste. Be at one with the paste. If you insist on ignoring the message of the paste, add more paste, if you just need to complete the last board or so, but you really should ju

We have a Hoover_Davis label feeder. We use on size label for most of our products so it works well for us. It's a well-built machine. We had some problems with the label in particular, so we had to buy from a different source. It runs great. If you

Jay, Yes, we did assigned new part numbers for our lead free components. Our concern was how do we know that this component is lead free. New part numbers was our only way. It made the component engineers cry, but offer them a box of Krispy Kreames

If I understand you correctly here are my recommendations: 1. You should not need to have your machine read more than (3) fids to place your sockets. 2. It sounds to me like your currents fids are through holes that are getting paste printed into

Doug, It always seems easier to fix one or two problems by eye at the time. The real problem comes when the customer wants the same board run again later. You're okay if you saved the corrected placement routine, but if you end up moving the job t

I am curious as to why you are using Koki ? Why are you not using a main stream paste that is proven in the industry? Indium,Kester,Multicore,AIM.... It has been my experience that when you start having paste-releasing problems out of the blue, it

We're not familiar with your DYMAX #984-LVUF. The problem is not with your conformal coating. The problem is with your 0805 [and not all of 0805, probably just those from a specific supplier]. This lack of coverage of components is called dewetting

ING, you had to nake it difficult didn't ya! It appears that all of your parameters are okay. When you state that "sometimes there is a residue" is it liquidous or dry? Is your spray fluxer an ultrasonic or a spray gun head? You may not be getting

A couple of things.. 1) The problem is more than likely on the magazine board itself (TC2), most likely the pal chip that stores the serial number and feeder information (you could swap this with a working magazine to verify) 2) The magazine connecto
