This is just a simplistic suggestion but why don't you invest in additional feeders so that you can do a 'complete' feeder setup offline? How much money is 1 hour of downtime costing your operation? If you can reduce the pit stop from 60 minutes to

I'm starting to see faducials used more and more on pick and place equipment and this sounds like a good place to use them. Does anyone out there have feeders with faducials on them yet? I'm told that a couple machines are running these to place 04

I have another question about bga's and stencils. We were told by a manufacturer to use .012 square apertures for .009 dia balls. The original pick & place and reflow goes pretty well (over 95% good), however when we have to select components on th

I'm out here on the leftcoast. Actually, our method for removal is: break down the sides, pull each pin individually. It's tedious and time consuming, but it can be accomplished with little risk of damaging the board. Customers are curious, however.

Yeah, you'll get the blue button functionality w/ 1.6. That protects the machine by disabling the magazine before its pulled from the machine. It tells the computer not to pick from that mag. Going from 1.4.7 is the same as going from 1.5, just softw

One of those pick your poison things, eh? * Reduce tester time and labor versus not testing the board after seperation from the panel * Traces that connected to the common bus will have exposed copper after seperation from the panel. This is not rec

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to track feeder maintenance on fuji CP feeders in a contract shop ? We are constantly setting up and tearing down feeders. Some feeders may be getting picked out of way more than others. How does one keep f
