I am at wits end with this machine. The MTU on my IP2 will not zero set. It gives me a few different errors depending on its mood. I receive MTU T- OT, MTU X- OT, or MTU Y- OT. when the machine attempts to zero set it travels until it OTs. I have tri

Hi Steve Thanks for coming back to me, you are correct IPC class 3 is required. We are getting great wetting onto the device but not as per IPC 3 with the wetting rising about 0.25mm. I am questioning whether it is actually possible with such a (re

It doesn't matter if the traces have solder or not. We're talking thermal cycles. RE IAg thickness: I believe the IAg is a self limiting process, similar to IAu. Your fab may be able to help a little, but I don't expect a substantial change. And if
