I'm looking for any experienced Graphicode software users for advice. We use Gerber EZ Teach(GC Powerplace) to offline program 2D inspection on our Momentum printers. I have an issue with mirrored apertures when creating my Bottom Side inspection pro

We evaluated the Metcal CV-5210 and found that while it is a solid iron, the "Connection Validation" features were so quirky that our operators had to completely turn off the CV features. When Connection Validation was enabled, we had a massive amoun

Problem is I don't have a mesh belt (lesson learned). Our conveyor is pins. If I laid some scrap pcb's spanning the conveyor pins on the long dimension of the board, I'm confident it would sag. We get a bit of sag today in our 1.6mm thick boards whi

Hey all! As background, I recently purchased a full SMT line for my company. We have a DEK 265, an assembleon opal xii, and a Heller 1500. Currently our jobs are leaded, and the heller is working perfectly. An upcoming job that we are potentially g

It really depends on the assemblies/components that need to be inspected and the available budget. 3D machines are much more reliable at detecting faults while not generating masses of false calls but of course they cost more than 2D machines. I ha

I haven't used these clips, or this machine, so... But..in general, I'd use as large a nozzle as you can that fits the pick area of the clip. That should give you the best opportunity at lifting the clip. If the machine has a gripper nozzle (with

Great! Thanks a lot for the help Definitely nice when everyone is in complete agreeance. I do think going to liquid nitrogen, then a generator makes sense. Currently we aren't planning on using the machine daily, so we'll probably hold off until we a

Hello All, We have a small selective solder machine from RPS, a Rhythm SS, purchased used with SN100C in pot. For a couple of years we have used this machine and gotten good results. We have been adding SN995 to the pot as it needed more solder. Then

I presume you have a local flux spray with your selective solder machine (I have no idea what you use). If I have a group of leads in close proximity like this, I would be trying to design a well and nozzle setup that I can use to solder all the joi
