Folks, who uses MYData's?.... In a previous life I was a fuji man and liked them I have to say, they were big n heavy and you could drop them from a plan and they would still work... well till they brought out the QP's but lets not go there. I did ha

bypass every pattern steps except 1 of them; the one step that calls for Head# 1 Now start with the first spindle on that head > for ex. no. 1 > save > load the new pattern in Dry cycle!!! > Run/Start. The reason for bypassing the fiducial check i

Hello, I recently purchased a used (obviously!) Siemens ms72a pick and place machine. This is an old unit, that was "run" by an old HP9000 computer, over IEEE488 bus. Also, the machine came with no (zero!) documentation ! (not one book!) Hav

I'm in the market, also, but vasilating over cost vs performance. I've also used both. In general, the LPKFs have more bells and wistles. On the LPKF S62, I love the tool magazine, and vacuum table. And, the fiducial recognition camera is great o

Our machines can't use 'cad data' for fids. I'm intimately familiar with these machines as I've been using them for 11 years. Most likely, it's a limitation of our machines/software, whereby it requires symetrical local fids. When we place a PCB on t

I am having second thoughts, because this machine is not an 84VZ. That's the one I would prefer. But, it is still at $520 on eBay! Arrghhhh! Well, in a little over a day I will know one way or the other. Thanks for the info on the equivalent Yam

Is anyone else using XON/XOFF handshaking, or is it best to >use CTS/RTS hardware handshaking? If you are using >XON/XOFF, what parity settings are you using? (Not unheard >of for the XON/XOFF chars to not obey the parity settings >for data chars.)

Sure, 99 percent of the planet uses 3M double-sided tape #666 tape in helping to verify first piece after a new placement program, but is that the best there is out there? We have this 3X5 card sized "Sample - Double Stick Sheets," which [according

The 3000 hours is correct. It was a VERY fast ROI! Back to the discussions on the earlier threads, some of this information is correct. If you exceed the design limitations for keep out requirements and your board tolerances vary, you can have twe

I have done noting about optimization, except manualy choosing the feeder location of the most common part or two. I do have a program that takes Protel 99SE pick and place files and converts them to the placement file. I haven't done a program for
