As I said, this software is not designed to give YOU a gerber file. The software is free so that you use their manufacturing services to have the PCB manufactured, it is all very cunning but then there is no such thing as a free lunch. It actually se

Hello guys, I'm a new learner in PCB field. And recently, I have summarized some basic information I learnt on how to arrange the line on crystal oscillator, but I'm not sure if it is right. So I'll write it down below, hope anyone who may read my po

Hi Reckless, If it is an Opal Xii with the 8 nozzle conversion it is a no brainer. If it's only got 4 nozzles, then it still has the advantage of being able to place down to 01005 (the 7 series is only 0402), and should be able to handle a wider r

Those patterns are either: a) the stencil has recieved some streching stress - either being pushed on and dented by some obstruction, or b) has been worn thin and therefore streched as a result. This type of change to your foil may cause a slight sh

We have 2 Samsung SM482 P&P machines. One we have had for almost 3yrs and the other going on 2yrs. Echoing Spoiltforchoice comments it's critical to use the proper lubricants and cleaners and cleaning/replacing filters when needed. A dusty environmen

We use independant engineers to service our older kit - all with long service careers with the appropriate manufacturers. The manufacturers we deal with tend to have younger engineers who do not know older machines. There are exceptions, in that th

No issues with the OS, it is called VIOS. Good spares support from China, also should be good USA support as there are a fair few machines there. Assembleon has a website for USA spares, including a lot of the old Yamaha machines. Personally, I

Thanks for your input I agree down time sucks. SMTnet has moved back office stuff to a separate server and has a project to identify and act on source of outages. Trying to improve. Sorry to say I'm your "anti forum spam" processor. I'll do better.

I would suggest spending the extra money and getting the Mirtec. Simple to program, great support and reliable. We run 2 of these machines (MV3-L) 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Remember, you get what you pay for. If programmed correctly, the Mirte
