RC, I agree. I have tried to educate management as to the real benifits of height measurement. Our President attended a CEO meeting of some sort and was told that solder paste height measurement will solve all of the worlds problems. She then inquir

OUCH! The ol' boss went to a seminar clich� eh? That�s a killer. Especially if it�s salesperson driven (which most are). Almost as bad as when they pick up Circuits Assembly or Assembly Magazine. OK so you�re stuck doing this process. I would

Greg, You guys are right, it was a thermistor. I believe the machine was powered up with the wrong voltage. Here is what gets damaged if the transformer is tapped for 230 and you apply 480: 1. Both CPU modules on the MX100 PLC's blown. 2. Both col

We experiences some failures on PCB assemblies from the field when a methacrylate epoxy adhesive was used to secure some through-hole components to pcb board as reinforcement against vibration. During application, the epoxy covered some smaller SMT c

A couple of things i would try: 1. Does function 30 give you a nozzle height that is repeatable. The number should be around 200.....+/- 20 or so. 2. I would change the z-rod because the spring could be worn out and when the vacuum turns on....it ca

What i have on the original 2 problem boards is the parts next to it are SOIC8 and placed using a 125F(.125" dia) 1 of witch is close and we have to Z zone it to place the SOIC last, the others have more than .02" clearance on all sides. The other

I am not aware of the Nano protek flaking off. However I do believe it can wear off through abrasion. Unforunately there is no red light goes off when it has worn unless you have good paste inspection. Even when it wears it will not take you to a neg

We run a Mydata high mix, low volume line. You can handle strips with either the Agilis feeders (losing the first 5-10 parts) or by placing the strip on the Y or tray wagons. For cheap parts like resistors, capacitors, some diodes and small ICs, ou
