Thank you for your response. I did this: I changed the whole machine FCM and the FCM II, as you write me everything changed. Programmed new EPROM, etc. FCM machine and it works perfectly as FCM II. Only now I've changed the option to push mechanicall

Care must be taken to not apply an excess of material, as the adhesive will flow under the device during placement and curing, and could cause a short. Printer setup: * Don't worry about stencil thickness. A wide range of stencil thicknesses (typic

We need to develop a method of putting solder paste on a stencil then putting the unused part back into the refrig. Reason we are thinking of this method is because we only run circuit boards twice a week. I dont want to waste entire jar of paste bec

We run Mascots for leaded assembly on 15 stations for 20 product types in around 2500 variations...the system works brillianlty for us, but we experience programs going out of sequence for no apparent reason spontaneously - literally, an operator can

This is more a cosmetic issue than anything else. Is this production or an RMA? If it's an RMA, did the customer send it in like this or was it damaged at your facility. If the customer sent it in, I would make an attempt to fix it. I have used s

If I was to try and repair the board, I too would opt to use an adhesive and a press. I try not to use super glue for anything though, instead I would probably use a thin (low viscosity) epoxy that doesn't turn brittle after it sets. I would use a pr

Hello. Could anyone tell me what kind of connectors these are on these cables & where to get them from? They are for ribbon cables to mount 3M DIL test clips to ribbon. I have tried contacting 3M but they don't seem to want to respond. These connecto

Based on my experience with OMRON VT-RNS, I would not consider this machine unless you are running high volumes of a limited number of assemblies. Programming and debug took a lot more time than than other machines in the same price range. After deb

Just found from another discussion : “The Yestech (pattern match) is very easy to program and use but it took sooooo much up-keep to keep the false calls to a manageable amount. The CyberOptics (also Omron) is more of an algorithm based type of mach

J-STD-003B prescribes test methods, defect definitions and illustrations for assessing the solderability of printed board surface conductors, attachment lands, and plated-through holes utilizing either tin/lead or lead-free solders. This standard is
