I would imagine you would end up stressing the stencil, as you will be continually contacting the stencil in different places. Also damage one stencil with four images on it, and you will end up waiting for new stencil to arrive. You then have four o

did you try it with different product/programs? if not, then please try. It could be a mistyped placing position also. Is there any error code? Could be several reasons but I think servo amplifier or servo motor could be the cause. More info would be

Hi all, we are just getting into using local fiducials for BGAs. My question is, in addition to having to be on the same diagonal (opposing corners) do the fiducials have to be the exact same distance from the center of the part? I always thought yes

Many of the components will deteriorate at very different rates. This makes giving an hour rating difficult. If you read, http://www.speedlinetech.com/docs/EquipmentImpactsofLeadFreeWavesolderingAPEX2003BestUSPaper.pdf you will see they give inspe
