We just came out with a new problem with these machines. We had to shutdown for a a few weeks due to Covid-19 and now they have errors when we start them up. Looks like the back up batteries died and after we replaced all of them the settings are com

We did a batch of boards with lead free HASL that we thought was leaded. Using standard leaded paste worked, but we did have some wetting issues. The issues were resolved when switching back to leaded HASL. Can't speak to your specific fiducial issu

Thank you so much for your comments. It sounds very logical as the probes are indeed the original along with the rest of the insides of this machine (270 hours of on time). The entire module is offset by 50-75 degrees cooler so suspecting that the pe

Hi Phill Thank you, It´s a possibility because that model has many false calls and real defects, but only in one component. A while back we had a similar problem and we changed the component number to a new one, and the cycle time was better, but th

Thanks for the good advice - the UPS is fine (to be sure I disable it but the problem was still there) In the meantime we found the root cause - the XMP SyncNet card failed. We replaced it and it's all back in motion. Many thanks to all who had rep

Hello to all, The Fuji GSP III screen printer was working well yesterday. This morning, the machine turned on and the display screen was showing nothing. I went to the back of the machine and reset one of the VM1152A. The display screen is now showi

Thanks for your reply. According to the manufacturer there isn't any palladium under the solderable coating on the chips...just nickel....i guess maybe the nickel is heavily oxidised. I have experienced the poor solubility (zero solubility at 210 deg
