Ken...you are right on the money. I couldn't imagine someone new to SMT assembly getting themselves involved with such an old platform. Besides I would have my doubts that a Quad 4C can even handle what this guy would want it to do. 0402's on a 20 ye

As davef states above, you would like to have flat surfaces below 25 mil. We are a contract manufacturer also and we've done thousands of 15 mil QFP's with HASL finish with no problems. Your success will depend on quality of PCB supplier providing th

We're a U.S.-based small-medium sized CM and have a relatively high-mix of boards. We want to start a new machine platform starting from lower-end (slower) and later to higher-end (mass production) machines of the same brand (programs). Other than

Hi All! Thinking about purchasing 2nd user Panasonic p&p machines (CM88s-M1 or MSR series...) but I didn�t know anything about it�s programming. So, I wonder do I have to use any off-line software by anyway or it is possible just to load centroid dat

Hello, I need an advice regarding the next issue: in the case of Assembleon Topaz or Emerald SMT machines, is there necessary to teach first the block repeat coordinates and after that the PCB fiducial coordinates when you do not have these coordina

I hope this doesn't add any confusion. I save my data as a .csv file and bring that into Cad2cad. This is how I was shown to do it by Assembleon. To use .csv you have to set your file format on the format cad file tab(during import to Cad2cad) to Cha

Sorry I have never worked on the csm's you can get an old topaz for nearly nothing. Those are easy to calibrate. What could be an option is to place an X-row of chips under 0 degrees 4X then 90degr 4X then 180degr 4X then 270 degr 4X. Place them al

What pick and place machine? Depends where you are. If in the UK or Europe and on a tight budget I would go for an old Philips/Assembleon Topaz, but only because I know the machines and where to buy them cheap, good freelance engineers and a good lo

Yes I would, most of our old Yamaha machines (before 2005) will do 30-35 microns @ 3 sigma with the fine camera option. Our Jukis with His res camera's will hit it too. You should be OK with most things after 1997 with the right camera choice (whic
