It would be helpful to know what happened before the error occurred. Do you have another machine so that you can swap some boards? The Force CPU, (machine controller) located in the VME, is responsible for controlling all machine-related activities.

Thanks for your reply, Rob. I wish I could attach images here, but despite the option for 'attachments,' it won't let me attach. The pendulum mechanisms are the cheap plastic type, from China, not the older style mechanical ones. Not sure if this l

Here is our solution: We run the assembly line 40 hours per week and use 500g cartridges of solder. We take 1 cartridge out Monday morning and leave it out until the end of the Friday shift when it is put back into the refrigerator. That means you

Hi Juan, I think if you check your Solder Paste's Data Sheet, you will find that your Solder Paste can be stored at Room Temperature for up to four weeks. There is no need to put your paste back into the refrigerator after every shift. If it makes

I don't know what paste you are using, but most of the leading brands can stay out of the fridge for up to 6 months.The paste you already took out of the cartridge should last you several days - up to one week, depending on your room temperature and
