Hi All, We have a handfull of GSM's here and some are newer than others. I was wondering what the options are as far as upgrades to the VME chasis. We have our oldest running with EPC-4, EPC-5, EPC5A and so on.... Can newer EPC units be used in t

Hi All, I am using YV100Xg YAMAHA Pick and Place Mounter Machine and I am facing a tilting problem of PLCC 84 and QFP 240 pins ICs. I deeply checked about their vision files and place them on the double sided tape and found them ACCURATE on their pad

We're looking into a new profiler and potentially one of these wave rider tools. I found some old threads, but nothing very recent. We tried the Malcolm tool a long time ago, but we weren't very happy with it. I'm sure I can get a demo unit and co

WaveRiders do work well. But they just measure, do they do not adjust anything. It's up to you or your staff to interpret and adjust your machine accordingly. It�s one of those tools that is affective, but only to the extent of you�re willing to u

I've used ECD's WaveRIDER and TIC's Wave Optimizer, and some people have sworn by Malcom's wave reader as well (if you look at all the past threads). We HAD an optimizer here in our shop, but somebody bwoke it. :-( As for evaluating these, see Chu

According to my assumptions you're looking for a 40kCph line. (300 days of 8hrs at 75% efficiency) What's the parts mix? I would say (and these are my favourites) Assembl�on AX-5 with 10 wide robots. This will give you 50k output with the ability to

Good Morning Everyone, I just wanted to get a feel for what other Contract Mnufacturers are doing. Do you allow a production PCB assembly with glued SMT components to be wave processed more than once? (e.g. the first pass did not produce acceptable

Probably not on the whole job, but maybe the 1-5 boards that were used for setup control. Especially MELF's are not super process tolerant. I'd probably allow standard caps and resistors one more time, but I'd need some test data to back it up. I'd

Hello, We are planning to buy a desktop AOI system and were able to experiment with a Mirtec MV-2 system. Results were pretty good, except for some types of solder inspection. I am wondering if anyone has some experience with the Mirtec MV-3 (3D 5-

Larry has lots of experience, if you have been around the forum for a while you may remember some of his other suggestions. Now I wish I had asked the question before jumping in to Pb-free 1 1/2 years ago. We've been using the same ovens to run bot
