What operating system are you using ? I have found that you need to stay with a DOS based operating system. I am running DOS 6.2 with windows 3.11. I tried win 98 and although it seemed to run properly, I would have problems in the final program. XP

If they're 1 1/2 years old, they are definitely aged parts. Either send them back for newer or widen your tolerances on the ICT to compensate. You are at the 3rd decade now (10,000 hours) and you will need to compensate for this. These parts are n

My software can easily open a PCB CSV file so this is probably the easiest way for you to generate a file. The setups are remembered via a write to the registry, so you can go with a standard set of values to arrive at a very usable file without havi

UIC still manufacturers new thru-hole machines. Both axial and radial insertion models are available. They stopped making the multi-mod dip inserters in '91 or '92. And parts are easily acquired for any older models, there were a ton of machines out

Hi, to get better image you will probably need higher voltage(depending on how close you want to look). The closer you get the higher the voltage should be. Here are some tips for machine calibration: 1. Make sure your board is on focus. I don't kn

You are correct. Both the machines are "semi-automatic". The program can focus on the part you want to inspect and perform basic inspections like void analysis (BGA, QFP) etc. But you have to manually navigate and look for defects like TH solder fill

If you are developing a cost model for quotation/estimation purposes, we would recommend time studying a handful of existing jobs/set up's that you have, and averaging your actual CPM rate. Then determining your cost to operate from there. This wil

You are correct about the Manncorp machine, it was an MDC machine. The Essemtec machine is old(ish) but still runs fine, and last I knew they were still supporting it. My recent problem with Essemtec was in regards to software. I found a bug and sim

Hi, Rebecca, Hmm...two x motors? I'm a couple of years removed from MyData's, but, I don't remember two x-motors. Might be something in the My12's that I didn't see in my older My9 (and certainly not in my TP9). As to the small board...unfortun
