read the other messages. I havn't seen this problem nor have I even heard of anyone seeing this problem. If anyone else has seen this on unreflowed BGA's I would love to hear it. At first I thought you meant that your QA department was finding the pr

First, skewing is a perfectly acceptable condition, providing the amount of skewing is not excessive. A-610 provides guidance. Second, this part is a land grid device. Land grid devices [ie, BCC�, LGA, QFN, MicroLeadFrame�, etc] are essentially BGA

I worked on MicroFlex. All axis move via electric motor drive. Carraige reapatability is +/- 0.0005" (12 micron). Cameras position more easily on linear bearings than the swivel type. The alignment accuracy and repeatability easily supports sub-20mil
