Maybe what you could do is have the stencil contain a tightly spaced mesh or grid of openings over the ground plane areas that you need to be solder covered. Also, to help the solder flow out better, you might want to decrease the percentage of metal

Considering a lean management on your shopfloor, any amount of inspection being done to a board, either by QA or Production personnel, does not add value to your product but instead, adds to your operational cost. You can explore to possibility of ca

NEITHER AXI nor AOI are "stable" or "repeatable." If your false call rate is zero, then you've basically rendered the machine an expensive conveyor (ie it's passing everything 'cause you've opened the limits too much). You can *try* to do a Cpk or

Hi Nemo, In my factory we have an offline AOI from VISCOM for two SMT lines. It's not so easy to program, but the results are very good. Anyway you should have to think that an AOI system needs a human inspector and a technician to debug the program

We are currently using the F1. We've had it for a couple of years now and overall we are happy with it. We did have some issues with the software crashing but after replacing the PC several times we seem to have found a stable platform. Also the conv

Shannon, We have been using VP for all of our lead free production since 2007. Here are the items I can think of off the top of my head. Pro's - small footprint, minimal profiling needed once machine is understood, oxygen free soldering process, s

For the past few weeks we have experienced an intermitent midas theta error.During normal production the machine times out while just after picking up a component waiting for the theta to center it.Sometimes it fails to leave a tool. Reinitianing the

Hello. I used Heller before - very stable oven, I had zero problems. Maintenance is also very easy. I also think they are not so expensive. You have to look at the power consumption and N2 if you are going to use it. Some ovens can trick you with low

Currently doing weekly to get a good baseline. Once its satisfied that the oven is stable/repeatable, then it will probably go with a monthly PM. We had an OvenRider in house, so no need to reinvent the wheel and make another vehicle. Keeping it in g
