Hello Rob, So glad you thought of me... Contact Systems policy is--and always has been--free software upgrades for the life of the machine. We do not differentiate betweeen "bug" fixes and added features. Each release is a combination of the two al

From what I have seen some component terminal finished have a problem due to storage also. I have seen pure nickel finished turn black. I have seen silver barring finished have problems too. It all depends on how you chose your process, PCB plating,

Harry- Good point and well taken. The main reason I like to recommend a HiE over a standard UP-2000 is the fact that you are assured of getting one of the later versions of the UP-2000 platform if you get a HiE as opposed to maybe a 10 year old stan

Hello Greg, I agree with you that the article in SMT Magazine should be studied very carefully as it contains many errors in respect to SN100C. The testing performed was a DOE and was not an optimized run. There is also a statement on dross generatio

Although rather expensive, you have to realize they had to go through extensive testing to prove their product safe. This probably cost them extensively. So once the formula has been deemed safe, they just pass this cost onto the consumer. Not to

We wouldn't know a Gemini from a bread box, nor we are real clear on what you seek. So, we'll just rattle on for a while. Here's how we monitor the quality of our dispensing process: * We dispense the same nonfunctional pattern of dots on every boa

As mentioned, there are many ways to achieve a quick changeover. Every manufacturing environment is somewhat different..but here's a few ideas for you to consider 1. If you have lots of feeder space on a machine you can have several simultaneous se

If you are not OEM I would evaluate a chosen laser machine carefully. If possible, go and run some PCB's yourself at the manufacture's place before you jump into conclusions. If your work orders are small and very different, it might take a while for

(Hey Cal how you doing?) I can't resist this. You can sort of do what you're hoping for but you have to be very careful. Let the component run out and let the machine get as far as it's going to go. Then go to "Software Options", "Test commands" then

Be careful about taking any generic advice and trying to use it to reduce voiding for your particular paste with your particular boards. I've done a few literature searches over the years on causes/cures for BGA voiding in the SnPb world and found a
