Release the e-stops :) Chances are pretty good that one or more of the e-stop switches is going bad. Pop them off, and measure with an ohm-meter to figure out which one it is, and replace. I don't recall anything in the software that identified wh

TP11 is always showing the error that E-stop is not released. This happens when we start up the machine. It is basically hit and miss, sometimes will work but most of the time this error will pop up. Any suggestions on how to correct this. Is ther

I've been struggling trying to get our TP9 machine to place 8-dfn package parts. One of our primary assembly contracts uses a SOIC8 but the pad design accommodates an alternate 8-DFN part and sometimes we have to go to our alternate part due to lead

Hi everyone, I'm about 90% to running production on my gsm but I'm not able to get the machine to look at fiducial marks and make corrections to the placement. When I run advanced board configuration and seek to the first fiducial the pec camera tra

Thanks for the reply Hege, I calibrate the machines every 3 months and have checked that the board carrier to nozzle parralelism is ok. Have tried many different profile settings using a MOLE for readings but still collapsing on one corner. I did

Hi ... We use DRS24C Air-Vac machines for placing BGA devices, and have been having problems with shorts on corners of one device in particular, its a PBGA and its size is 4.5cm square and 15grams weight. When the component is picked up and the com

If you have a chance ask them to bring in one of your products(take board, stencil and some heavy part on the PCB that will absorb a lot of heat). They should be able to screen(even manually) it for you, hand place the part and send it through the ov

Sounds like your volumes are pretty low. Pick and Place is the bottleneck in the assembly line. Consider an oven that can keep up with the throughput of your P&P. "The best" is determined on individual cases for a specific application and enviro

Hi all our IP1(1993)is not reading the board fiducials, the light comes on at the fid camera and stay on and the machine just hangs. Need to press the emergency stop button to go any further and screen says 'mark not readable'. None of the bulbs h

Hi Thomas, Seems your machines do what I am looking for. Slight time delay between 2picks is OK,( because the software is not made in multithread way), that is OK.....I just want to have 1x definition of the component in placement data and Component
