Hello all!!! I have a question, since we first started here we have bought a lot of ICT fixtures for our old Z1820 teradyne we are a company that work with a lot of reed switches, no the question is can a reed switch be tested in the ICT? I have no

In order to test a reed switch on the Teradyne, you will need an electro-magnet mounted inside the fixture. It will need to be mounted directly under the reed. First perform the passive testing (TVSV or Cont), then the active test. Drive the coil

We are looking for a new BGA rework station. We got an ERSA IR550A and we are not very satisfied. I'm not sure that IR reflow is the better solution because the top-side heating is too large. I think is better with a convection "forced-air" heat.

Air Vac DRS25. Hands down the best rework EQ. (my humble opinion, based on my own experience with rework EQ going back 15 years +) Right in your budget. Complete capability for rework. SMD, BGA, POP. Full profiling capability. Massive bottom heati

We currently use Assembleon Gem series pick and place machines. We have no problems using them other than they are not intended to run 0201 or 01005 components. We are looking to buy another machine to add to our lines that would be capable of doing

Jonnie, I think the entry level machines from all the major manufacturers are capable of 0201 and 01005 placements when properly configured. Keep in mind that as you go to smaller parts the process window gets tighter. Printing is a major concern

What vintage are the gem series you are running? We have some '06 Opal Xii's and place 0201's with them. Haven't tried 01005's. I know you said new but Cardinal Circuit has an auction gonig right now that has a 2010 Assembleon MG1 and a 2006 MG2 and

Well, i can divide the inaccuracy in two phenomenons: Poor repeatability, i.e. the pockets don't stop at the same position after every shot by a margin of up to 0,5mm (20mils). The second problem is the stop pocket position, which is not equal from o

I didn't knew about this procedure because it doesn't appears in the manuals I have. These are not originals but incomplete photocopies (this is one of many problems of this machine) that I have compiled from other colleagues. I jus received just som

Hi MikeS, I didn't post all the information, because I didn't want to mislead you. I wanted to see your way. We tried 3mil and 4 mil stencil using type 4 paste. It was hard to get the right aspect ratio and that;s why we did it on Nickel stencil - a
