Hi, I can give my opinion in this topic since I worked with both machines. To say the truth, I would recommend neither machine. First of all, operating software is much quite the same for both machines. The TP9 is true that has a larger footprint ov

Well, there seems to be many opinions, many of which could be correct, however... With the proper laser they can be quite good for soldering. Here are a few guidelines I would like to suggest. 1) Have your product soldered first (by the vendor) 2) T

Sounds like Mydata might be one you could look at, for example. I don't have experience with them but they do have "smart" feeder capability. Some machines use electronically controlled and motor driven feeders, some use pneumatic and/or mechanicall

The PCB's are supplied by the customer. No options. The BOSS say's get it done, make it work, I don't want to hear it. My BOSS is a psychotic idiot. The printer is a DEK with no options for manual fiducial over-ride. I think my idiot BOSS wrote the

I made my own wave measuring device using KIC2000 system. KIC2000 has automatic wave detection, so now I have a profiler for both reflow ovens and wave solder. The delmat carrier only cost $500. A guy, Samir, from this forum gave me the idea, actu

As someone with a LOT of experience with the "low cost" alternative alloys, primarily SACX, I have one simple question....Are these shorts a new phenomena? WAS your process in control, and all of a sudden it's not? If the answer is YES, take a look a

Drill a hole through the board (or the BGA) and set a thermocouple into the center of the device (in the X Y and Z dimensions) and run your profiler through the oven until you get the temp you need in the center of the BGA. Attach a second thermocoup

Hi, I was just wondering what the most common process is for silkscreen/legend removal and/or rework? Scenario: Fab house had a registration issue on some SOT-323 packages where the silkscreen encroached or was actually printed on the surface pads

All must be cautioned when messing with acids. Of course, neutralization is required. ("ADD ACID TO WATER", says the wise mans daughter). But at what cost to do the job right? Theoretically, anythings possible. Have messed with acids for soldering an

I only build my own products, so it has to meet my needs for QA only. I am doing some 20 mil lead pitch (0.5mm) and will soon be doing a 0.4 mm pitch part. I have more magnification on my microscopes (40X) but almost never need to go that high. If
