This little bit was interesting, I posted a very similar response the other day in agrrement with newbie, I was starting to get a little ticked myself and the "going back to the basics" questions that we are starting to see more and more of. I afte

Right. Fiducial comes with the CAD data or the gerber files. If it doesnt, and you need to create fiducial coordinates, you may use a digitizer or a caliper and make use of the reference pin as the origin. Now if the fiducial camera focus is way out,

This is what I have come across with some of the gerber datas. Most CAD/Gerbers don't carry the fiducials because some of my customers don't have them as a standard but when the board house gets it they are the ones adding the fiducials. So send in a

I have considered using the same security methods employed at thousands of Gas stations across the USA. The bathroom key is attached to a large carburator, tire rim, or any 30 pound piece of towing chain! Seriously, I look at my processes and try a

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Couple of other things to consider: 1) Are both machines similar in price? 2) CP-6 feeders will work on a CP-7 although the larger pans need to be changed. Used CP-6 feeders go for about $175 on av

Sam- It all depends on what and how many boards you're trying to build that will determine if gantry or turret is the way to go. I like gantry machines and have been impressed by their increased performances over the last few years but they still hav

Look to the no-Pb solderpaste mfr. specs for on-board temps. For example, Indium Corp. has a product that performs at on-board temps of 229C. Now, your BTU oven will handle this no problem, as will most modern ovens. Its all about thermal mass. Look

Well, it finally happened. A machine Operator did not follow our bar code process and "grabbed a tube of solder paste" and guess what. Built 250 assemblies with LF paste when it should have been Tin/Lead!!!! SOLDER PASTE SUPPLIERS: can you make t

This is one reason why we changed package styles. Maybe consider getting a different size tube, say from 500g to 1000g or something like that. We use jars for lead paste, and tubes for lead free (different application method) If lead free comes off t

Hi Pete, Thanks for taking the time to respond. My experiences with Mydata would differ from yours, but as in life, different machines are for different circumstances. We have many low volume customers that love them - they are easy to use, upgr
