Again, I want to pay. I am willing to pay. I just don't think I should pay "per-machine" or pay more than, say, $5,000. $12,000 for four machines is just plain rediculous in my book. Besides, the post made earlier that the per-machine is based on th

Interesting! Several years back I had a through hole machine which was purchased through a broker. I needed a replacment part and the machine manual have a part number which I found out as superseded by a new part number. Upon calling the QEM technic

Do you happen to know where I may find a supplier for the "little mirror"? Google didn't produce relevant search results for Mentor. My method of inspecting possible bridging under a BGA involved a small flashlight placed up against the edge of the

Caltex or Ersa type system is good, Caltex prisms, necessary for looking underneath the BGA can be crashed easily when looking under low profile or Micros. $40-$110 each depending on the availability and who makes 'em. We have 2D and 3D X-ray avai

I am pretty happy with my Ersascope, they have been a little slow with software updates and with software questions that i have had. But my main reason that this has paid for itself is dealing with our non-local contract manufacturers, we have used t

I like you looked all over and was frustrated. The prices that they are asking, you would think that we were back in the 90s when money was all over the place. After looking around I found a BGA-100 from SMT Tools. This system will do everything

We can speak from experience, the Ersascope needs only 1.5mm to see along side a device and is the only system that looks low enough, the cheaper systems may be fine for normal packages but forget it for csp's, micro BGA's Also its the only system th

Why all the fuss about BGA inspection?? If your reflow process is sound and your rework system is competent (i.e a PDR) they will be fine. Best advice I can offer is to srike a deal with an outside company who will inspect a small batch of your pro

I would like to ask a question about SMT reflow process. I did 10 pcs samples but all is fail. The sample is double faces to have components (up-side has 4 pcs of BGA and down-side has 3 BGA and 2 QFP). And I saw some of BGA which is tilting in the P
