I am going to be scrapping out a 1997 IP-3E soon. It is a complete machine EXCEPT for the 4800 vision card. If there are cards you might need and don't feel like getting hosed by Fuji, let me know. Rick

I'm not familiar with that printer so not sure of the support config., but can you plug the openings in the product with some pieces of scrap board (not likely on support pins but workable on a plate) and look for a difference in performance? Does t

We have had this happen. The Z-ball screws do go bad in IP3's. We replaced the ball screw and the problem went away. As mentioned improper belt tension will cause the servo to make loud noises. But if you say the movement is rough, then the ball scr

If you can not find the source of cotamination then apply masking to fingers until you do find source, single layer of Kapton tape or similar should not affect print thichness. This will eliminate scrap / rework in the mean time.

Do your boards only have three parts on them? Otherwise, i dont see how this is possible. Do you scrap the board if there is an issue or do you fix it and make it look like reflow soldering?

I use Center Edge, and adjust stencil offset. It's very easy, you just have to give it the PCBs width. An other advantage is that If your PCB has scrap strips, and you lose them, or PCB changes, you can print it anyway.

I agree with you. Personally, I would either return them and look for a new supplier or scrap these boards. Unless your customer provided these boards and gave you the go ahead to populate them, they will not be too pleased about the build.

Thank you, it seems to be an high scrap %. I think that this % depends on the size of the component (machine loss), on the lot size (new lot set up loss) and on the number of components per reel (new reel set up loss). What do you think abot this?

We throw the break-off tabs in the scrap board bin. If your tabs have metal content, metals recycling firms will probably take them. Most tabs have no metal content.

My company is trying to develop a system to take into account the SMT parts scrapped by the machine and also the parts lost during loading and unloading feeders. This is causing part shortages for us. I would appreciate if anyone could share how th
