We recently added an SPM printer to our SMT department and I need to buy some tooling pins and center supports. Other than MPM, is there any aftermarket support for this machine? Can anyone point me towards any suppliers for the above mentioned parts

You could probably put a 1/4" plate of steel over the aluminum and make some shorter magnet pins. I think the factory upgrade was $3500 to $4500. Its hard to justify the cost based on saving maybe 5 minutes a set-up for an operator. But your lines wi

My guess from your description is that you're talking about the board at stop sensor (mounted on camera) that is seeing the board, but the board edge is not hitting the stopper. Either the board stop is not extending fully, or the board is sagging an

As you are running Left to Right it is the trailing edge of the board leaving the board at left opto that tells the board stop to lower (not the sensor under the camera - that just confirms the board has arrived at the board stop). How big is the boa

I have this board that we are currently having problems with. When we run the BGA side with the hotter temp. the connectors on the other side lift off their pads. The BGA is lead free, that is why we have to use the hotter profile. Would it be

1) run the BGA side first. set the bottom temp lower (if your reflow oven have top and bottom temp setting) for connector side while doing your 2nd reflow. 2) run the BGA side first with your normal leadfree paste, and run the connector side with low

If you�re running chemistry in the wash, the wash temperature will be influenced by the chemical manufacturer�s recommendations. Typically, wash chemistries recommend operating temperatures between 130F and 150F. If your application is straight D

We'll guarantee the two pads are too close together. The proper spacing depends on the orientation of the parts to the wave. * Do the pads hit the wave at the same time? * Does one pad hit the wave before the other? If so, which? * How does the 06
