The ad is confusing. He has NO feeders! That certainly reduces the value of the machine. Now that I know the general capability of the machine, I'm inclined not to go for it. With shipping, feeders, possible repairs, etc. it could be real expensi

Does anyone know how wide a doorway you need to accomodate a Philips CSM84? I don't mind taking off covers and accessories to make it a bit narrower, if that will help. The spec sheet indicates the smallest dimension is 53" (1350 mm) which I'm hopi

I've wondered about the 5% spec myself. Section 4.2 points out that "The oven used for baking shall be vented and capable of maintaining the required temperature at less then 5% RH.", leading me to believe this spec even applies to ovens used to bak

Hi Coop, Sounds like you are having top side wetting issues. Generally this is flux related, but with a foam fluxer, I'd kinda doubt it's the fluxer. Could be heat related as well. Try slowing the conveyor speed to verify. Long leads - hmmmmm.

Hi All, I would like to get some advice from users who place rfshields pre-reflow and reflow onto board. We ran a batch a few months back and boards which had the shields reflowed failed to function properly ~ I was happy enough that the profile

Couple of things. Type T thermocouples are solder friendly. However usually a header with screw terminals poses no problem as the temperature differential is nil. Getting thermocouple leads wet causes problems because two dissimilar metals + condu

What software level do you currently have on your machines? If you have UPS+ 6.2.x there is a huge improvement. In the SOIC/QFP or any leaded catagory you will find a check box under the vision tab called noise filter. Check this box and the software

Ah, I almost forget (forgot?) to mention that according to the Gerber files (which is the info we send to the PCB-house) the PCB land pattern for this LGA-36 0.35mm rounded pads and the boardhouse cannot achieve this. I understand them; 0.35mm pads,

Hi Piotr, We had the same problem before. Each engineer created his own name and after while nobady knows what it is. We started to use our own coding system of components using special code matrix. We use main features of componets like body shape,
