We just bought a SM320 an will receive it next week. We had 3 days of user training this week and from my point of view it is a very good machine. Really easy to use and very fast and accurate. On our testboards we achieved *realistic* speeds of 10.0

You know, many SMD components have copper alloy leads and then a copper (or Ni) barrier on them. On the copper (or Ni) barrier there is the finish. Usually the finish is made of Sn\Pb (tin-lead), and if I solder with a Sn\Pb solder paste it's all rig

In-Circuit Test is the best method for ensuring solder joint connections. It is a much more reliable than AOI. An ICT machine can ensure solder connections are made for array package devices such as BGA, PGA, etc... AOI is best for component I.D.- is

We have a 3Z and a 3AV. We dont use the 3AV at all anymore and just took the 3Z out of service but we ran each for 4 years for at least 8 hours a day. We never had problems to the extent you seem to have. I did talk to someone a few years ago that sa
