On a small, single stage RPS machine I was going through a dewar (not sure on the capacity differences between what you're using and a dewar) every 6-9 business days running normal 8 hours shifts. Side note, I'd suggest trying out SN100C alloy over

Hi, We are planning to replace our ancient 3rd line with new machines. We've only ever had Samsung/Hanhwa PnP machines so far and I'd like to know about porting data between them and other manufacturers. Is it as simple as generating .ssa file and i

!!UPDATE!! We have found the issue, power supply #3 was bad. The PSU was not sending 24v to the emergency system which is normally a closed circuit. Being that the emergency system was not getting the 24v it assumed the e-stop had been depressed. T

I guess my question would be why are you getting so much/leaving so much flux on the boards during the select solder process? With a drop-jet fluxer you should be able to apply the flux very selectively and leave a fairly clean looking PCBA, assumin

We are using a spray fluxer. Most of the THT parts are long connectors, so we spray along the length of the connector. I'm sure we can tune it a bit to reduce the amount of flux some. We're still going to need to remove the flux for some of our clien
