Ramon, I have placed BGAs before with an IP-2. It can be done, but with limitations: IP-2 can only see shape of BGAs, not balls (back-light only). Is this OK for you? I only placed components with balls having 50mil pitch, and the centering with bod

James, we used to use 3 clamshell type printers (one of which did have a two camera vision system, and did all our fine pitch), but had limited success with 20 mil pitch. 25 mil pitch was no problem. I suspect that you'll find people that have had

What are you placing on this equipment? If you are placing flip chips, you need to have a glass plate test system to verify your machine is accurate and repeatable. If you purchase new equipment and plan to place flip chips or ultra fine pitch, it

Welcome. First, proper alignment can produce an order-of-magnitude increase in the number of boards that can be printed without wiping. The initial alignment can be made either by: * Peering through the stencil apertures at the board underneath and

| | | One of the DFM suggestions I've seen is to remove the solder mask web, i.e. the mask between pads on 20-mil QFP devices. The rational is that if the mask is thicker than the pad the mask can prevent the stencil from making intimate contact wit

It may be worth mentioning to those that do not have the ability to rotate the PCB, that some folks adjust their aperture design on fine pitch leads by increasing the aperture size for those leads parallel to the X axis, thus allowing consistent volu
