It's been awhile, but, some other things you might look at: - Check the fiducials on the toolbox. If they're getting obscured/damaged, all kinds of weird things can happen. I had problems initializing tools one time because of this, and I could actu

Hi, Early this year, the company I work for released its first product using PCBs with SMT assembly. These boards are relatively simple with less than 30 components, mostly 0603 size resistors and capacitors with a few SOIC and one LQFP chip. These

In my experience a distance of 30 mils per 1 mil in height above PCA nominal is sufficient for the squeegee blade to bend (in the direction of squeegee travel) so that you don't have excessive solder issues near the label. Labels are about 5 mils ta

Assembleon (Yamaha Re-branded) machines have treated me well as I have 13 machines running any given day. Manuals are readily available in English but are more clear if you can read the original Japanese or Chinese versions. The biggest issue you
