I recently had the same problems, solder bridges on every thing I made, different customers boards, etc. I wave with no-clean flux. As I sorted out problems (pin holes, blow holes, splatter, etc.) I found a lot of variable factors. I changed flux,

I need a good digital photo or two of the turret of a Siplace (or equiv) style SMD pick and place head preferably laden with die or SMD parts to explain a bulk handling concept to some machine neophytes here. I could alternatively use an image of any

Clarissa, Buying used equipment should not be risky if you do your homework. As M COX said, you should find out if the manufacturer still supports the machinery but don't take everything they tell you as gospel. Remember, they want to sell you a new

Nice to have you back on SMTnet. Some of the newer folk have missed-out on the solid contributions you�ve made to the Forum. The chicken wire cleaning basket was a classic!!! [It�s a shame that the folk at SMTnet can�t recover those files.] We bu

Hi Clarissa, seems to be a real start up situation you are in. For the printing there is IMO no need to buy any sophisticated automatic-vision-alignment-self-cleaning-inline-and-more-machine. Features you need: - adjustable in X-,Y-,Z-axis (individu

I would look at the Samsung CP40 or 45. They have the placement rates you want even a little better on the 40. the 45 will double that easily. They handle all types of parts down to 0201 components. Depending on the camera you select (25mm) you ca

I have had cases when it was necessary to run epoxy and paste at the same time. The only good reason I know of to even think about messing with going to this trouble is if the surface tension of the solder melting pulls the part out of alignment. T

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

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
