We are planning to purchase two new reflow ovens. I would like to take an unofficial reliability survey. Could you list your reflow oven model / age (yrs) / number of unplanned maintenance events in the last year? Example: BTU VIP98/2001/8

You might also want to consider process repeatability cross profile performance over time and energy consumption. Also reliabilty is effected by shift usage etc,. Eg could have oven that might appear reliable in one context but not overall. Ie total

Hi I am using an old Camalot 1818 to dispense squares of epoxy on a substrate. Does anyone know if it is possible to do an array of squares across the entire substrate rather than individually entering the coordinates of each square? Thanks!

Ive used the Camalot long time ago to dispense paste on BGA pads after removal then reflow with a machine such as the AirVac. What is the best way to do BGA repair on pads? Ive read alot just reball the bga then put it back on? Todd

Sounds like the feed cylinder sensor. Its a air cylinder hooked to the tape feeder advancing mechanism in the rear of the machine. Go into the I/O and make sure the sensor is changing state when you flag it.

Ben: you are right, I think the timing must be off some how. I will check the error code and post it back here. thanks David

Sr. Tech: I will check the air cylinder at the rear and see what position when the machine stop. Thanks David

Look for PCB shop online.Visit different sites and compare the price. I am sure you will find a good one.

Did I loose the plot at my last response? (October 04, 2012 10:22 AM") or was this to do pick & place assembly, NOT PCB panel manufacture.
