Not affiliated with Contact in any way, but we do have 2 3AV machines, as well as a 3S. I've been operating/managing these machines for 11 years and we haven't gotten a build yet that we couldn't do. Are there occasionally strange components that we

Hi Mika, We came across some difficulties with this type of device a couple of years back . After the proto run we needed to touch up the outside fillets to get stability and product to pass test. ( even though the manf. stated that there is no fill

We have tested the Feeder Master and I have to say, we are not impressed at all. The main thing that we thought would be great with it was to test the feeders in full speed, but you dont get any data out from the machine so you only end up waching th

Indium got back to me with the attached PDF. I always assumed, that in order to avoid thermal shock, there could not be any more than 80 degrees C difference between the solder pot and the pre-heated board. However, it would seem that any thing le
