The "Rose" test is a process control tool because it is cheap and easy to use. It has it's problems; but, it is generally agreed to be the best tool available for this purpose. All others are much more expensive and time consuming to run every day.

Hi ! Thank's for your replies. I'm seeing you're very concerned about this subject. I think RoHS and WEEE arrive too soon. Not technological solution about whiskers and tin pest. RoHS implicates a lot of money for to implemente news process. We must

WOW Sr.Tech, 40K worth of bent tools? I'm about ready to be sh*t canned because of 1K's worth. As for trimming the mags, the product is running fine (many boards) and then out of nowhere the tool bends, so I assume my PERFECT operators trimmed the ma

We currently have agilis feeders and TM8 magazines for our Mydata machines. Our operators and set up people seem to dis-like the agilis feeders. When you set up a reel that already has the overlay tape peeled free from the carrier it gets in the way

I think with any feeder your going to loose parts. After running the five most popular pick and place machines all I can say is, TAPE. Have your operators tape the reel after they remove it from the feeder. It coasts more in ESD tape and it�s a pain

Hi, We also had a lot of problems with tant's on the Agilis feeders, but MYDATA have a feeder that can be adjusted, and it helped a bit, however we changed the machine to a larger version, that went from a HYDRA camera to a line scan camera, and all

Hi, Wow, weird seeing this old thread pop up again, and it's weird re reading my old posts, and remembering how frustrated we were with the larger 12 and 16 mm Aggillis feeders that kept sticking. We ended up dumping the MYDATA as it just could not

Hi Gary, With plastic BGAs it is more difficult to remove the trapped moisture because of ground planes in the substrate. If your parts have been sitting around for a long time they may be soaked with moisture and in some cases the 48 hours bake cy

First, we know nothing about your assemblies or how storing them in an "unconditioned" warehouse will affect their performance or post-storage processing. Second, there are no specifications, because what might be good in one application might not b

This will always be the case with in-line spindle machines that rate their cph based on unreal conditions. Flexible placement machines with different head designs will perform better (closer to advertised) and are truley more flexible because you do
