Juki Fx-1R Initializing Error E601044Cannot reset alarm, Axis Error Occurred, Mitsubishi Amp Error E7 -- I'm troubleshooting a Juki FX-1R error, it came up after running a known good program, we powered the machine off, returned to work, powered the machine on and all Mitsubishi Servo amps go into an E7 error. None of the Axis move or initialize. I'm thinking there is a common factor in perhaps the Safety Circuit keeping the initialization process from completing. Any thoughts? It would be great to you, Thanks ATS

Need Help with BGA Soldering in PoP Assembly -- Dear colleagues, Good day to all. We are facing an issue with soldering the lower BGA component in a Package-on-Package (PoP) assembly. To address this, we drilled a hole and installed a thermocouple. Using a KIC device, we created a thermal profile corresponding to the solder paste (KOKI S3X58-M500). However, X-ray inspection shows insufficient soldering in the lower BGA. Attempts to slightly decrease the conveyor speed and increase the temperature have brought only minimal improvements. We are working with a Heller 1809 MK5 10-zone reflow oven. We would appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to resolve this issue.
