The "correct" answer is: Use the tests and methods that you used to qualify your solder paste in the first place. That sounds good but might not be all that practical for practicing assembly-types. Here's something that's not as good, but will give

I have a 3 head CSM84 without vision. I have set up head 3 without chuck jaws to use with the mechanical alignment station. When I got the machine all the M.A. offsets were zero. Over time, I have gotten them closer, but I really don't understand

I was hoping somebody knew how to do this. My method was to place parts at 0 and 180 degree rotation, and adjust head offset until the parts were in the same position at both rotations. Then, I adjusted the M.A. station offset to zero in on correct

Hello everyone. I have a question pertaining to solder irons, tips and solder stations. We recently have set up our lead free wave and reflow oven. We still have quite a few projects that require leaded solder. I was curious how others handle rework

Not sure what kind of humidifier you are looking at but here's my experience: We have 4 humidifiers. All are ultrasonic supplied with DI water. They work well but... UT humidifiers will create a foggy white residue that will stick to things in cl

Hello, as we are talking about X-ray, I don't think you can do maintenance on your own unless you are specially trained in X-ray applications. Dage(we have Dage) offers maintenance as well as tube warranty but it not cheap. In terms of programming y

You are correct. Both the machines are "semi-automatic". The program can focus on the part you want to inspect and perform basic inspections like void analysis (BGA, QFP) etc. But you have to manually navigate and look for defects like TH solder fill

We use it almost exclusively in manual mode for PCBA failure analysis. Our main purpose is to find head-in-pillow defects; secondarily incomplete wetting of ball to substrate. In two years of almost continuous use we have only had occasion to use t

So we had a ringblow pump blow up in our CP642. We replaced it and now we are getting hardware NG errors very intermittently.(2-4 times during and 8 hour shift) I see that the x-motor fan, cam motor fan,and oil cooler are all in this circuit. When i
