GEB - We have a 1.0 mil camera for GSM1 that we do not use. We would prefer to have a 2.6 mil on our machine. Are you interested in a trade?

Hi, The machine is a Universal GSM1 flexhead. Is it possible to just change the lens of a 2.6mil camera for a 1mil or 0.5mil lens. Or do I have to buy a complete camera assembly to do this? Thanks, Grant

Interesting... where are you based? I am in the UK. What types of components benefit from having a 2.6mil over a 1mil?

Thanks for the info. I use the machine with a 1mil for resistors and capacitors and the machine with the 2.6mil for ICs (both have a 4mil.) This is because the r's & c's seem to benefit from the 1mil, more than IC's. I was thinking of making the mach

Where are you located? Along the same lines, I have a trick I used a couple times when replacing a camera. It is often not the image sensor that goes bad, but the camera electronics behind the sensor. I have had luck taking the camera apart but le

Your IC's should run great. I have changed out a handful of cameras inside the box (you know when your camera is burning out because the monitor will show black/gray horizontal lines). It's pretty easy. Aftermarket cameras are about $350 I believe

We had a camera die on one of our GSMs. I got a new camera, and it is working, but I need to either find a cal kit to rent for a day, or else if someone knows a reasonably accurate procedure to calibrate the new camera using the other upward looking

We are in North Western U.S. I like 2.6 better (for our mix of builds, anyway). 1.0 works great on PTF parts such as fine pitch QFP's but I don't like it for chips. It's too picky and we wind up forcing parts to the 4.0. We have another GSM dual

SWAG is right on the money. I had a 0.5 mil per pixel camera and a 1 mil per pixel camera. As you increase magnification your focal range goes down. So your part height becomes much more critical. Parts out of focus will be rejected to the dump b
