Good morning, MPM AP25 we have is equipped with dedicated vacuum support only, no side snuggers. Also we had a lot of issues with fine pitch paste deposition due to this poor support. Vacuum support can�t fix wrapped boards properly causing a lot of

On the board support issue: DEK and Ovation Products make board support things to get at the issue you describe. Ovation hosted an On-Board Forum on SMTnet a while ago.

Use the photo sensor to stop boards instead of the hard-stop. There is also an ultrasonic sensor upgrade. A little more robust than optical. Y Snugger Tooling upgrade is kind of pricey and they like to do that in the plant. But, I've known that upgr

Honda, Prnting Glueisn't as difficult as it sounds, as long as you have the right stuff and a good set up. It also depend's on what your going to be placing. If your just doing 0603, 0805 and 1208 than you really only need an 8 thou or 10 thou stenc

I know for a fact that you do not need a new computer. Speedline likes to say that about everything. I can have a broken sensor and they say I need a computer upgrade. Their tech. support people tend to be salesmen at times. You just need a newer

I don't doubt about not really needing the computer upgrade. I've seen the same thing from them before. (Although it was a Speedline tech that originally told me about the PastePuck system.) Unfortunately we have custom software (4.1h) that goes w
