90% of the battle with thermal profiling is your thermocouple attachment. That is Process Engineering 101. It's just like painting your house. The masking and prep work will make or break the end result. KIC did a DoE on which thermocouple attach

Hi All, We are embarking on the design of an ultra low-cost pick and place machine for use by small manufacturers & would appreciate some input. Here are some points: Low cost - in the region of $6-11k (higher cost versions faster) Two cameras (up

Interesting thought. Among the many thoughts that came to mind while reading your post, one stands out for me. While making a cost effective machine is a great idea, it seems obvious that there will be some trade offs on quality. The cheaper the ma

Take a look at the Essemtec machine it basicallly does what you wish to acheive but at a much higher price. It uses a standard camera, laser alignment of components which would probably be essential if you wish to achieve your stated speed. Could sit

I like the possibilities. Couple thoughts; all good equipment is solid, don't try and design a machine around modular aluminum extrusions, they're junk. At the very least use a heavy steel table with a 1/2" base and 4" square legs, they can be bou

By way of an update. We have the locost machine running. Plenty of stuff left to do BUT we should have it available for Q3/2009. The basic spec is much the same, we have spent *ALOT* of time developing the vision system and calibration mechanism.

Hi folks, I was wondering what the combined wisdom was on the humidity effect on the MSD control required by the Jedec std. The std works on a relative humidity of 65%, if my RH is only say 30% because of factory environments how do I easily factor

You have to enter the setup utility.Power off the machine,connect AT keyboard to the rear port, power on,press f1, load the bios setup defaults, enter the hdd parameters,in the first menu (Standard CMOS setup) (Cylinder,Head,Sector,Wprecomp) save the

thank you so much for the info, wished I would have known previously, however I found the motherboard manual online, and located the Dallas CMOS chip soldered to the board. Found a lot of youtube fixes online. Dremel tool and some soldering, added an

I'd say it's much easier to do the external batter mod than replace the whole Dallas module. I've done it, works fine. There is a chip in the socket next to the module, best to remove it and put back when you finish with the mod.
