We have a Speedline MPM UltraPrint 500. The Hard drive currently in it has bad sectors, and so I had tried to install a new hard drive and used the installation folder from the old one to re-install SigmaPro 32. When I start it fails to find the Mete

We've got an MPM Accuflex printer that generally works great, but we've had a recurring problem. The powered rail (rear rail) fails to initialize. Sometimes all it takes is restarting the machine to get it to work. At the suggestion of the repair

Hi Guys, Yesterday one of our two gsm1 machines just stopped moving and let down the board mid-production. The epc computer continued to respond but no messages were displayed when palming up or down. I tried local IO and it said no IO was configure

There are ledgitimate reasons for checking furnace calibrations, but let me clarify what that is. 1. TC's are not necessarily calibrted. Not unless you need "absolute" accuracy. TC's operate against a (non-linear) standard +/- a tolerance. Most

CAL's word of caution is right on. We tend to stay in the 220C-225C max. temp. on our profiles, and that's because the last heads up from engineering came on a part with a spec. of 230C max. temp. We just found out that one of our old SOIC's is spe

Buy American is the answer, however we must also change business ethics. US business has devalued quality and bolstered their legal departments!!! It is easier to make legal statements defending your product when it fails, rather then pay educated,

We agree with Russ and Ioan that rework does not cause black pad. It's caused during the board fabrication process. On the other hand, we think: * Mantis wants to reduce the amount of reworking of boards that fail due to a black pad problem. *

I've done a few capacity and capability studies and bought new SMT equipment (Pick and Place) based on the above required capacity. I did not rely on equipment manufacturer's tact time. I used only 60% of their tact time as achievable in real manufac
