I'm sure you considered acquiring a second FX-D and run them inline, the first dispensing half the board and the second the other half. That would automatically double your throughput. You wouldn't have to worry about a new process, consumables, et

We've actually bought a second FX-D, which is intended to mainly handle smaller, higher-volume boards. That will still serve to improve throughput. But at the same time, we're also adding another pick'n'place machine which has a rated speed that's 2

What does "maintain it really good" entail? For reference, this is our maintenance procedure for the FX-D: - At the end of an 8hr shift, the solder paste path is purged start-to-finish using Nordson's ValvePurge. The machine's then powered down and

Hi Jeff, We have both a MY500 (4 years) and a 600 (8 months) and were the first in the UK to have both. They work well for us, enough so that we no longer use a stencil printer. Like yourselves we are a high mix CEM we make about 500 different part

The closer your inspection the more defects you will find, the more rework you do the possible cost you will add and the potential increase of damage you could do to your products if rework is not up to a machine copyable standard. "Is there any in

In switching to lead free processing, we find ourselves having over 400 PCB part numbers with Sn63 HASL finish. And there is no hope of quickly purging inventory and getting our drawings changed to call out a lead free finish. I want to avoid having

It's a four-spindle head. I've already learned the joys of the size of the nozzles...on a job that had an 0603 cap a bit too close to an SOIC. The first panel ran, and the cap placed after the IC...and I had parts everywhere. Got it figured out an

I have been reading an old Mirtec thread and in it a couple of guys mentioned that they have issues with their side view camera(s). I too have an issue with my east camera turning green at times. I'm not sure which channels our machine techs went thr
