All our extraction equipment is from Purex (I am a happy customer, I can highly recommend them). The one we are using is a 3 tier 9000-800i model. Also, all our extractors are pushing the air out, obviously through a lot of filters. Have a maintenanc

Careful with the term "vacuum sealing". You do NOT want vacuum in the MBBs. If you take out too much air you can create pockets where the moisture gets trapped. Also you can cause corners to pierce the bag. And you can even cause moisture to be pul

15K sqft sounds like a good size facility, you should have someone that knows or learns about ESD and owns it. Check Out esd . org, ipc . org, smta . org for standards & info. Tile vs Epoxy = Tile's better but much higher initial cost. Pay attention

I'm interested in getting parts usage data from my two universal Genesis machines. They appear to have support for camx as there is a a camx service in the bin directory and a schema etc. I can't find anything in voyager or on the uic site about it

Maintenance, solder type, and tinning flux chemistries are going to have an impact on nozzle life. Doing regular maintenance and using a good quality nozzle you should expect your nozzles to last 6-8 weeks when running a single shift operation. Keep

Thanks guys. Chatted with Ekra (Irv / Rudi) and we have nailed it down to the table LEFT side motor and it is specifically the coupler. As I turn the coupler by hand, there is some internal component under the coiled spring that makes a snapping soun

Thanks for your comments. The table aligns fine but just makes the whining / ticking sound when using the 'REFERENCE' command. In this command the table moves more than the live 'AUTOMATIC' mode. The motors are working fine to align the PCB & stenci

What purity? To get 99.999% pure you will need dewers of liquid nitrogen or a two stage system. (and a dewer will last about a month and a half even if you don't use it as it outgasses.) But you can get reasonable purity with a wall mounted single s

In a previous lifetime, we had a selective solder machine where I would see solder splashes in the roof of it. I thought someone might have been putting the solder extremely high. But when it was melting there would be bubbles that burst. The manufac

Hallo SMTnet. We have just bought a VXS Air 3.2/634 Rehm reflow oven. We are wondering why the conveyor chain in the oven is still running two days after the "Auto OFF" precedure/program has been activated. In this case the oven set to "Auto Off" Fr
