Hello, We have FCM base 2 machine (Philips-Assembelon). I am trying to find out whether it is possible to install instead vacuum pump (make noise and power consumption) venturi system. Does anyone try to do this.? What was the result.? What vent

Has anyone ever replaced the venturi vaccum pump on the CP45 or other series machine? Or used a centralized vaccum system? It works fine, but air consumption seems excessive. This is what is in there, it probably uses 10cfm at least. https://www.p

A follow up, using an external vacuum pump works fine, and reduces load on the air compresssor, probably using 1/3 of the air.

I also use a small vacuum pump, this allows me to run a small compressor to supply air to the machine, around 7.5cfm. Someone suggested it to me years ago, the venturi system in the machine uses a lot of air and is noisy. The pump is a yellow jacket

Agree with WiIIR and also can recommend to play with vaccum pump RPM . Slower vacuum increasing have help me to resolve one problem caused by the vacuum (it was solder splash from BGA balls, but the reason can be similar to your case). Also check i

Vacuum Bakeout Ovens For many years vacuum bakeout ovens have been used in the hybrid industry for removal of moisture from ceramic cercuits prior to hermetically sealing packages. In this process the vacuum oven certainly reduces the bakeout cycle

"I read a study a while back by IBM that showed too strong a vacuum would cause too much moisture to enter the bags." That's what the nitrogen is for. If you pull a vacuum w/o backfilling with something dry, like nitrogen, pretty soon the vacuum ove

The only part, which could cause component misplacement on the rotary heads of the Siplace machine is the vacuum valve. I don�t know the official name in the part catalog, but I use to name it plunger. The plunger is moved in and out by a miniature s
