What are people using for AOI systems and how are you using them We are on the market for 2 systems post reflow capable of inspecting solder joints at 010 sized components we have 2 old systems at the moment inspecting for presence and polarity p

Good Morning Bryan, We are using Mirtec MV-3 AOI's with 4 megapixle cameras. We use them for 100% post reflow. We are checking, presence, polarity, value, solder, bridging,component height for BGA, QFN etc... and 1st piece validation for machine set

Looking for methods for detecting BGA microcracks without cross sectioning. Currently evaluating a new package and will be putting together a thermal stress eval. We would like to perform intermediate inspections for cracks. Once all cycles are don

It's OK to have the daisychain done in the interposer rather than the die (and a lot cheaper) but in thermal cycling the parts MUST have representative die. That's where a large part of the CTE mismatch comes from to cause fatigue damage. Thermal c

BGA rework equipment: Search the fine SMTnet Archives to find threads like: http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=48736 Use x-ray inspection to identify the obvious defects such as shorts, missing balls and gross solder voids.

Machine has 2 FlexJets installed. Working fine until it started giving Theta1 following errors. Machine will not zero. Coincidental (I think) with this, the Low Power Power Supply behind the Power Distribution Panel failed and was rebuilt. It's worki

Stumbled around in the data management section for a while and found that the board origin somehow got its sign changed from -ve X value to +ve :o/ - Is there any way to change the colors on the display. Someone has made some really bad choices (blac

Basically it states that you cannot have Field Returns in the same area as Work In Process. You must have a way to clearly identify and seperate the two different types of product... In your ERP/MRP/ShopFloor/etc... as well as physically. The preferr

Hi Flipit, One of our customers has recently changed to this type of finish on their PCB's, due to them wire bonding MMIC devices in their factory after we do the SMT build. We found that we had to change all of our stencils for these products, as t
