SWAG does make a good point. The tool he is talking about is located on setup page 1 in the vision box and is labeled FP Mode (Fine Pitch) mode. BY default the setting is "0" this means that once the machine is put into auto mode the camera or visio

The answer is CyberOptics. Buy Viscom SPI and you are already buying "CyberOptics Inside". Koh Young is far too expensive these days for comparable systems and Parmi is still an "Up and Comer" with a short track history leaving most of the long ter

You are correct about KY having the lions share of 3D AOI in the industry. They were 2-3 years ahead of everyone else to entry, but the gap is closing quickly as the overall capability of KY does not justify their higher price. On the SPI front, Cyb

Don't blame it on the poor paste thickness requirement [although I might go on to argue that it's could be a contributor to the issue]. Most likely you're the problem. About 70% of the time solder on gold fingers is caused by poor cleaning of screen

If you are going to stay in business more than 5 years buy a non-Chinese made machine. Flame me if you want, but that is my opinion. Here is some of the best advice I could offer you: Call the tech-help line of any equipment you are considering bu

It's hit and miss with older machines I know, but we've been able to get through a lot of stuff with good documentation and help from people on this forum and the oem's. We have put toghether our own smt line with ~20yr old machines for about 5-7% of
