No mystery there... The balls are reflowed by conduction of heat from the package itself and the backside preheater just as in any other rework machine. The laser is just another method of precisely heating the entire package. The advantage is overa

First of all, whom are you getting it from ? Mydata, or a used equipment broker. If you can tell me what machine type you are looking at, then I can tell you what to look for. (MY-series, or TP series) Most important things right off the bat: *Machi

Doug, It always seems easier to fix one or two problems by eye at the time. The real problem comes when the customer wants the same board run again later. You're okay if you saved the corrected placement routine, but if you end up moving the job t

If you have an older machine that has cyberoptics you might want to try to put a pickup theta of 90. I believe there was a problem with that type of part. Also use non-leaded alignment and scan the part near the top of it. As for 0402 parts.........

Well, in manufacturings defense, I have to say we LIKE our AOI. We run preset-up jobs that are scanned in by the operators. The bar code on each reel is placed there from incoming. Incoming is a very, very busy place. From time to time we find th

Do you have BEC (Board Error Correction) > on that machine, and if so, did they > give you the alignment plate for it? I don't know if we have BEC on the machine. I can't even search the 550 page manual that was finally sent to us in a pdf file
