The height varies with board thickness. The top of the board is always held at the same height so as the board thickness increases the pin height decreases. Jerry

Over Current means the motor is drawling too much current. Check for a jam on that axis, bad wire, bad motor, bad servo amp (yes the amp can go bad and make it appear that the motor is drawling too much current). Jerry

I agree with the local fids concept. This is usually a problem since the flex will most likely not have fids. However if your components are 50-mil pitch and 1206 or larger, you could use tooling holes to align the flex circuits when they are attach

Just be prepared! Once you open the drain you may not be able to stop the flow. Be sure that you get as much as possible out then have several pans empty and near by. On some pots it will look like there is very little left but you don't see it a

Hi Jerry, I thought the same so tried running other programs that are known to work on the IP-3 but still no joy. I shall try Alan's suggestion with cleaning the linear scale and see what happens. Thanks!

Why don't you estimate a board, then do a time study when you actually build the board to see how accurate the estimate was. This works very well in convinceing someone how accurate you are. Jerry

Simply leave the paste out at the end of the shift for the next days use. Keeping the paste refrigerated just prolongs the shelf life. Even if you are at the expiration date leaving the paste out for 36 hrs won't make any difference. Jerry

If the board is HASL you may always have trouble. Try to reduce the amount of paste by either reducing aperture size of stencil thickness. Jerry
