No, we haven't compared bills because we rarely let it cool completely down over night. I would think that the cost needed maintaining 200C over night versus 310C over night would be about the same, but a little less. But going from 25C up to 3

WOW! What a horror story. Well I got a Philips CSM84, having never programmed a P&P machine before, or actually ever seeing one run. I got some manuals with it that were for a different model, but they were pretty close. I had some trouble gettin

Only on the bottom side? Run that side first . We usually determine our run process based on the heaviest components, and propensity for falling off during the second reflow process. If there's only the one BGA on that side of the board, we'd tend

Hello, I would like to ask for opinion on an epoxy application. We apply RTV to bond and secure 2 electronic devices on a PCB. But after noticing the RTV bond breaking off during vibration test, our customer has specs in a 5min 2-part epoxy (made

This doesn't help the original poster any, but does the Quad have any sensing of what is going on in the feeder? On the pneumatic or mechanical Philips feeders, if the tape jams in the feeder for some reason, the head just keeps tapping the lever an

I recently had the same problems, solder bridges on every thing I made, different customers boards, etc. I wave with no-clean flux. As I sorted out problems (pin holes, blow holes, splatter, etc.) I found a lot of variable factors. I changed flux,

I run a prototype/small-run shop, so I'll include some recommendations too: 1) Don't buy a machine for just what you are doing today. Once you get into this field you will find demand to do more. 2) Don't scrimp on the stencil & machine. You will spe

We actually ran production boards on Mydata and Universal Advantis. The Mydata machines software was very command line oriented which I thought was strange but they said they had no intention of upgrading it. The Mydata placement accuracy was superb.
