I believe there is a force calibration menu option in the maintenance menu. From the main screen, choose exit to maintenance to get into the maintenance menus. If you're still having force issues afterwards, you'll want to start hunting for broke

Are you doing this to minimize solder paste splattering? Is this a value that you use for all QFN's (would the overall size of a QFN matter)? I was told reducing placement force with these components is recommended so just was wondering what is bein

I currently run Siemens and they have their own recommendations about placement force. Most of the passive parts will be placed using 2N. For some BGA'a we will go about 4N and for certain parts that are very easy to break you should go 1N. All parts

What type of head do you have on your machine a midas head or a zi-fi head? Regardless of which you do have I would make sure that the head is clean where to tools go into the head. Use a soft swab or something similar so you do not damage the z forc

Thanks for the response. Yes, the z motor initializes in the service program just fine. It moves and reads a position. Also in the service program, I try to test the z force sensor and it gives me the same error - no z indicator at all. All cables ar

Sal, I have seen this problem placing SMT connectors which exceed 60mm in length. Although I did not use siemens equipment at the time I am not sure if they will place enought force to seat the entire connector flush to the board. They have a maximun

Hello PMD Don't feel like that, we live with these MPM's. And we have over 10 years experience. Also never mess with the down stop on any MPM and you will be better off. Most of mpm's machines have a down stop of .0750 and it should never be cha

My own preference in this arena is towards the forced air convection style preheat, the key being the forced air. Radiant preheat is too slow for some, and IR preheat can have other issues that convection (or radiant) will not. Zephyrtronics has bee
