I've looked at a lot of AOI's in the past couple years. First and formost KEEP IT SIMPLE! Second clamp the boards down this will aid in keeping the camera feild of veiw stable, most that I've looked at this was an option not a stock feature. Also sid

Just starting and already responsible for product quality and machine adjustment? Wow, you poor bastard. Ok, I will assume this problem happens on the bottom side of the board with a thru-hole IC. The short occurs on the side that doesn't have the

Hi All, I would appreciate some advise with regard to Leadfree settings for a 5 zone reflow oven. I have a 35mm square BGA 672 pin on board. I am struggling to get the Delta T down to 2 degrees C . I have 5 Thermocuples drilled up from the bottom a

You're correct. It's a peculiar looking defect. With measling, we expect to see discrete white spots or crosses just below the surface of the base material. We don't see that here. We do see a similar condition at almost every PTH in the picture, a

I have been using ICT for a number of years. It is still a viable resource for catching defects in the production process. AOI doesn't catch everything, such as bridging on QFN or J-lead devices (this will depend on the type of AOI and camera syste

I'll try swaping cards and see if the problem follows the card. So far, my guess would be the motor going bad. I did change the brushes, X wagon cables and every cable that goes to the midas unit. But that didn't fix it. The problem is that to replac

Hi there Gary, Your solder ball problem is very similar the problem I experienced, but I was using a water soluble paste at the time. It started by inspectors telling me that they were seeing cold solder on some SIMM's that we had built regularly. W

I have never seen excess tin [heard of it, just never seen it]. Excess lead yes, but tin no. See, tin oxidizes faster than lead. This means that dross has a higher tin content than the solder in the pot. So, with a very high dross machine, we regul
