Not much, actually, but that was by choice. We use the Quads for short runs and when we want to get set up and torn down quickly. The Topaz was purchased specifically to give us the ability to get through our larger, regular jobs faster than we can

I am not completely sure why it would tell you "board will not be populated" and then build it anyway, but if the only difference between the two programs (working one, not working one) is the fiducials are smaller, did you try reducing the search ar

You may want to try raising your pre-heater if you have one. I would also suggest trying different fluxes that may be a little more active so you can use less. What type of fluxer are you using? Selective solder flux residue is a gray area. This i

Considering you will be buying a used one and considering you can probably find one for sale at around $30K-$40K I would argue you CANNOT find a faster machine for less money these days. Amazing actually to realize that you could pick up a CP-6 for

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg

Poor reading skills......that being said, with good resolution (3 megapixel and up) digital cameras so readily available, and cheap, why not use real pictures? After all, a picture's worth a thousand words... In the '90s, I used to translate CAD/Ge

There are different options for de-paneling routers. There are two basic types, in-line and stand-alone. Do you need in-line for high volume? The stand-alone systems have manual insertion trays, one or two trays. Also, after de-paneling or laser ma
