Thanks for the help guys. Nice to think I was basically on the right path. PCB manufacturer has finally conceded the barrel defects and is remaking the PCBs. We are big on pre-tinning the leads of TH connectors as well as providing some good pre

What software version and build are you using, and were you lucky enough to get a manual for it? How big are your moduals and what is your component density like? Setting up a MV3-L for IPC 3 will take a serious investment in time for a operator wi

Hi, We had a similar issue to this. When we examined the boards at x-ray there were no apparent defects, We sent the boards for Dye and pry testing and we found that there were crack or gaps between the paste on the PCB and the BGA ball. basically th

Of the machines you have mentioned, the APE Bandit is your best bet. I had one of those in a previous employ and it was basically bulletproof, and simple enough to work on if things went wrong. Simple controllers and enough power to do the job at r

We're in the process of doing the same. We've gone through a large amount of presentations from at least 5 different machine manufacturers. MVP is one of the machines on the top of our list. Their GUI is very friendly, programming time was low compar

Hi Reese, the contamination is coming from the material of the PCB itself. Basically, there`re failure observed in the products from electronics factory. preliminary analysis been done, the main board not properly functioning due to bad solder. next

Most in the forum with AOI experience would say that Mirtec and Yestech as pretty close. If you have Yestech representation but no Mirtec rep, your question is basically answered. Regardless of the machine you purchase, you WILL require assistance fr

Much ado about nothing. Reminding has failed? Who runs the place? You sound like you are a person in authority. You may not be the boss, but authority has weight. The folks that can't seem to remember (or care to remember) have bosses that you c

Here's two ideas fro the fine SMTnet Archives: * On the bare board, during design / layout, the basic shape of the jumper is a 125 thou disc of copper [that of course is eventually covered with whatever solderability preservative we use on the board]
