It's a four-spindle head. I've already learned the joys of the size of the nozzles...on a job that had an 0603 cap a bit too close to an SOIC. The first panel ran, and the cap placed after the IC...and I had parts everywhere. Got it figured out an

Hi Mark, Look on the bright side, if you want to change from HASL you've got the lead free issue which will allow you to evaluate all other finishes, and find the best one for you. Dave, have you seen any unleaded HASL finishes & any issues arising

Hi, We have done many 0402's with Hydra. We have done 0201's with the single head on Linescan but have yet to actually run them on Hydra. We now have a machine equipped to do this with the corresponding hydra tips. I will update as soon as I have an

Good machine! Just like most part libarys don't let the operators change part profiles. Haven't seen it place 0201's but 0402's have no problem. Tape splicing for the feeders is a problem. The eject wheel gets jammed with anything other than splice t

The GSM can place the part from a XY positioning standpoint without issue. You'll have to look at what camera you have to know if the machine can inspect it. After that you need to decide if your feeders can accurately provide the part to the machine

Rob, I know the things are not always as we like them :)....but people should understand that with the equipment you have you can't really work on 0201 jobs, so they shouldn't take any of these. I can design and build a helicopter, if I have the r

Brian, We have the Mirtec Table Top. It is very good at detecting the component and orientation. It is however only as good as we program it to be. We have seen some limitations in respect to solder connections. I have not found it to be 100% re

We recently acquired used MPM Accuflex. Immediately I noticed the live vision is mirrored. This makes it incredibly difficult to teach fiducials. I noticed some smudges on the lens, which leads me to believe the camera assembly was "worked on" at som

The UFP was a designation for "ultra-fine-pitch"; but, for the most part, you should be able to get the same placements out of both machines. Anything 0402 or above can be mechanically centered. The UFP machine will lean on optical centering for .5

Clarissa Even with a sound support team, buying used equipment is always risky. Some things to consider 1) Call the manufacturer, and make sure they still support the equipment, Parts and Technical. 2) Look at the machines with somebody who knows t
