Hi All, We use Aegis Checkpoint for BOM management and CircuitCam for programming and work instructions. For reasons beyond my control, we no longer have a service contract. I'm fairly new here so as far as I know the following problem has existed

We have been pretty happy with second hand Universal Instruments GSM machines from the mid 90's. They are pretty affordable on the used market for a small company like ours and there seems to be a good supply of new and used parts. Support is good fr

I tend to get issue on and off with the feeders either stalling and/or running slow/noisy. They are actually pretty easy to clean and maintain. If you take off the side panel of the feeder you will see a few gears, belts and a motor. The first thin

I have many PCBs that use an AVR in SMD packaging, and since I frequently change the firmware in prototype boards, I'm trying to come with the best solution to program the AVR quickly and easily. The first approach was to have a standard header (2x5

Hi All- I've got an old industrial dishwasher converted over to a screen wash. It's a closed system, one screen at a time. Total volume of about 10 gallons, no heater. RoHS solder. This thing is foaming up like a rabid animal. The screens go in

Hi all, We run an old Seho 1135C wave solder with a 63/37 pot at 250°C. It has been running well for a couple of years but we have noticed lately that all of the larger pads (terminal blocks, transformers, etc.) require additional solder to be appli

For package shapes/names I would recommend using manufacturer names. This is much safer than coming up with descriptive names like QFN32_5x5 as there are multiple 5mm 32Pin QFN shapes even when pitch is the same, this makes it safer to use a name in

Hi smtnet forum. I've made this thread, cause I'm struggling with programming old Topaz and Emerald machines. So, I'm here to ask you, do you have any idea how to write VIOS program offline for Phllips SMT machines using computer only? At this momen

Gerber EZ is not available on the Accuflex platform. Speedline (now ITW EAE), like most manufactures, do not want to offer new tools on old platforms. There is one feature in the AccuPro software that I don't believe was added in any version of the

Don't go down that route, Juki cut spares support a few years ago on these. Although bits are available from China, you do not want to be swapping used cards. They are both also dog slow in real life whatever you do to them. Especially a 760. We'r
