questions I asked: “It seems the vision system is not reliable. However, we need to get the procedure to create and debug fine pitch parts such as BGAs anf QFN’s to understand how the machine operates.: Common errors: • Even after doing the vision t

I interpreted the binary values using a hex editor. It took a while to figure it out, but it’s actually pretty simple. Originally I had planned to manage the data across our printer programs like barcodes, board id’s as locations etc. But they never

We use independant engineers to service our older kit - all with long service careers with the appropriate manufacturers. The manufacturers we deal with tend to have younger engineers who do not know older machines. There are exceptions, in that th

We are a very small EMS that has been sued by a large OEM customer. We built a board, it passed the customer supplied tester, but we had accidentally put a wrong part on it. This was discovered years after we had been placing this part. The cust

Depends on what sort of outfit you are working for, and what you are building. A lot of CEMs are doing Flying Probe or ICT on the boards ahead of investing time building into units or adding parts that prevent access to rework. We have a combination

Need all your experts out there for tips & tricks to make things work. I been giving a task to help redesign a simple board; only to load two components. The challenge is to use pick-n-place machine to load the coil onto the 50up array panel. Previou

dwl, thanks for your feedback. The 1st option would not be possible, due to customer wants to keep the board as it is. Epoxy would be one of the next thing I would do if no other possible design that might works. I am not sure of the volume yet, I am

I have a GSM1 that when try to zero it, it stops with the "Timeout waiting for spindle up" message. To get thsi up and running, I have set all my machine settings to default and had to reselect the head from a C4 1 head to the flex head. I initially

Now I have to guess and make a few assumptions. Without looking at the back side of the board my guess is you have some 400-100V diode bridges before the resistor ,zener and the FET . The FET is a 500V 0.85 Rdson NFET. All of this suggests a chopper
