Since no one has responded I'll give you what little I know. My last place of employment used MSH-IIs and an MPAV-2B. As far as I know there is no optimisation capability at the machine like there is with your Topaz. The programmer used Panasonic

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg

You could have said "why don't you just flop 'em over twice into the right tray?" lol. Yeah, that's the right way. I was kind of focused on what I had to do here to get two different parts from full trays into two cut-in-half-the-long-way trays sinc

Can anyone tell me the differences between the CP6-4000 and the CP643? Is the CP643 able to place a wider component range? Does the CP643 have some sort of vision system while the CP6-4000 doesn't? If anyone has the Fuji Specs on the CP643 and could

The loaders/carriers work well on CP643's in my opinion. We have had ours for about 4 years. However, if you crash them it can be a beeoch to get everything back into proper function. We have very little issue as long as we have our techs do rail wi

Good Morning All, I am looking into solder paste inspection systems. I have used a solder paste height inspection system in the past. We have derived less than usefull information from this system as it will only measure the pad that was taught. I h

The clear plastic packaging for LEDs is a LOT softer thermoplastic than the thermoset epoxies used on ordinary chips. I think people have had high failure rates when reflowing LEDs in all-plastic packages even at SnPb temperatures, and much worse at

I solder LEDs everyday from 0402 sizes on up. I work for an optical company so every product I make has LEDs. Some products have hundreds of LEDs per circuit. The problem is that clear materials are not filled materials and thus don't have the adv

We have 30 years of soldernig experience, 25 years in soldering robotics, and have had laser based systems for a few years now. I'm not sure you need a laser for this application. It's really going to depend on whether or not an iron tip can get in

The reason we are using laser rather reflow is because the Osram Golden Dragon part my customer needs to use is not rated for reflow. I would prefer to stay away from hot bar as there is maintanance required on the tips, Unitek had a pretty sweet mac
