With desktop/workstation computers I am of the opinion that they should be left to run 24/7 to avoid thermal cycling daily in order to prolong their life. I have dozens of computers between my home and business and I have had good success with this f

Got it!!!!! On the main Operator Screen for the MPM UP2000, and under configuration (when logged-in under maintenance), it gives you ONLY the settings that the machine is set to....there are no drop-downs or options available to choose from. Very fr

Thanks for the replies. The single missed lead is a bit odd - we usually have an entire area missed and that's due to the board not sitting properly in the pallet fingers. I figured in this case it was likely due to poor fluxing? We have always str

John, programming can be done easier, but you have to pay the price somewhere. I would recommend using the following sequence if you see a lot of new products all the time. 1. Use your own part number system. With these numbers you will fill up you
