Can anyone tell me if they are aware of any pick and place machines that can use 'randomly placed' local fiducials? Now, let me explain... Our machines (Contact 3S, and 3AV machines) can use local fiducials in several ways. We can use a single center

"Surface Mount Techniques has approximately 98 percent of the world market share of large Panel Stencil Printers". It sounds a little bit strange to me, especially since I work for one of the companys listed in their advertisement and it is definite

Yes, this board is approx. 3" x 17" x .062"T with large areas of ground planes. However, the delam. does not seem to be confined to the plane. We also see it around component pads and fiducials. Generally speaking, it could be said that the first

SWAG - I also forgot to mention a few things. Our delmaination was always between the large copper plane and the laminate. It is a multi-layered board, so even when the delamination appeared around components (through visual inspection), cross-sect

Hi guys. I'm hoping maybe some of you can help me with some information today. I'm looking to find out "ballpark" how much a decent board washer would set me back. The one I currently have just isn't doing the job the way I want it. It seems to have

As we understand it, you: * Get some nice BGA from your supplier * Find BGA to be packaged properly * Bake the BGA for 24 hours at [what temperature?] to reduce the potntial for damaging moisture sensitive components during following processes * Remo

We are going to start doing rework of Lead Free BGA's. Have always used flux for SN/Pb boards/BGA's with good results. Can flux be used fro lead free as well? Boards were originally assembled using lead free paste and components. Hence, the BGA w

See if the solder is leaving the pad(s) and is wicking up the component. This is long shot but I have seen something similar to this possibly in a wave process. We had a very thin board and a very large QFP on top. During wave operation the solder

Bill, We only allow 3 boards to be printed in front of the pick and place equipment. It is important to keep the abandon time to a minimum. You did not mention the paste that you use. Do you use no-clean or water soluble? Do you use lead free?

When you say "SMD" I am assuming you are refering to a component. But in your description you mention these are some type of "boards". "flatness" or coplanarity is a function of the application and process. I think in your case your standards wo
