We use the standard supports that come with the machine. Print a 1:1 transparency of the first pass side of the pcb including mechanical outline and components. Your customer may need to supply this. Flip this over and tape it into position at th

Agree with PDE. We have two GSM's and we get this error often. Palm down e-stop when you get this error message. Machine will drop nozzle bank down after doing some segment repairs. Open covers and make sure nozzles are seated in reference to ali

Hi, Yes, that's an idea, but from my experience with MYDATA, it would fail test, and the machine would either know it's lost the component, or it would not know, and the component would not be on the pad because the machine would think it's mounted

Some clarification: Max bottom side component is not 5mm as someone posted, its 12.7mm (0.5"). This is if you're going to have a Gel-Flex block under that component. Any component height at or over 12.7mm must not have a Gel-Flex block under it. Al

I am not aware of any such info so you may not get any replys on this but each of these systems is totally different. There is usually not much overlap of what is the right choice for an application. The solder bath machines with fixtures are for hig

I hate to sound like a broken record but the industry has been placing lead free through-hole parts forever. Now all of a sudden its a problem??? Gold finish, silver, silver paladium, alloy 42, even pure copper. Reliability will be a function of t

Hi, Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I am going to check what options we have for top side heating. Do people recommend we get convection for that? Also, we seem limited to 60% in the machine setup, and does anyone know how to run the top lam

We've had much trouble with flex circuits. As previously mentioned, you must have local fids for the board or the BGA itself (if panelized). Other troubles we experience are drilled holes for pinned connectors. Unless the PCB manufactur has some w

Apoligies Steve if I did not explain myself clearly. We have made the same design using the same RoHs compliant components (which I am assured by the suppliers are process temperature capable) with both lead and lead free solder. Without wishing to

We have used thousands of them with no problems. They will not aid in "connector retention" unless you have a shear force at exactly the right angle. This is an advertising joke. They will help with alignment of the connector. Open your holes up so t
