I am looking at either an older model Juki 750/760 or an older model Universal Instruments GSM (flexhead). I need something very reliable and repeatable. I am looking for a no hassle machine. The more reliable and repeatable it is the better. I h

Which machine did you like more and recommend? My feeling is the Juki is simpler and easier by design thus making it easier to maintain. The GSM is very robust, highly over engineered making it more costly to keep going. Harder to work on for

Hi Reckless, No, I don't think it's a $1K job, just for the hours needed. You still need to learn the absolute basics, such as navigating the menus, creating a program, nozzle changing, identifying parts with the laser and camera, Pick timers, z hei

I just bought this GSM for $1500: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYExLDwlJLc&feature=youtu.be It has 1 flexjet head and OS2. I need to buy 15 8x2mm feeders and some 12mm. Do I buy pneumatic or electric? My service tech says electric is a waste o

Placement force usually refers to the amount of force an SMT nozzle applies to a part when placing it. You want enough force to push the component onto the paste but not so much that you damage the part. Some specialized applications involve placing

It is BS. Solder is either liquid or it isn't. Getting it hotter doesn't make it more liquid. Its very easy to prove them wrong. Have them create a profile with the bottom heater turned down. Run boards and see how many parts fall off. You create

First of all, shouldn't allow SMT operators to edit/create recipes, only grant access to the well-trained only. You will put yourself at risk if you don't have good process rule of oven recipes. Newer oven models should come with software that has m

Yep, checked the nozzle (that was my first port of call). Had a look at it under our microscope, and also swapped it out for another nozzle to be sure. The problem still exists. You can set the theta speed, but only to Fast, Medium or Slow. I've

Cheers. I have a suspicion its an error with whatever part of the machine measures shaft rotation, but the grub screw thing is an easy one to check and eliminate. I'm only guessing from what I can see, but it looks like its setting the component at
