Typically - hand soldering as you are currently doing. Should your volume justify it you can invest in a selective soldering solution, these might take the form of a robotic arm that essentially replicates manual soldering or a solder jet similar to

Hey pr...sure it's warm there, but I also hear that in that area where you live it's not too uncommon to have a kiddie pool in the front yard (with a couple of darkies in there), pickup truck parked on the front lawn, chain-link dog jails, with you o

Hi all, Having been designing (3d modelling and programming) stencils and tooling (solderwave carriers,print support etc) for several years I am now investigating whether it would be possible to do this from home. I live in the UK and am therefore ab

Can you tell me how to distinguish between them? I recently bought a second GSM2. With it I've got two FlexJet heads (dismounted). The serial number of both heads starts with FJ7P, so I assume they are of FJ7 type? The issue is - it seems that the he

I work for an electronics manufacture. Our end product is on PCBAs. My question is related to the use of safety glasses, which I know are required when doing rework. But here is the question: We ordered side shields for prescription glasses. Wha

Thanks for the reply. I will try that. So is it normal for the live vision to be a mirrored image of the board?

When testing components on a PCBA, try to validate coverage for presence, correct, orientation, live, and alignment. AOI is not really great at catching cold solder joints and damaged components, and from my experience an X-Ray is only as good as the

We recently acquired used MPM Accuflex. Immediately I noticed the live vision is mirrored. This makes it incredibly difficult to teach fiducials. I noticed some smudges on the lens, which leads me to believe the camera assembly was "worked on" at som

The SimmScope is a first article inspection system that uses an overhead digital microsope on a motorized gantry to inspect the board - much like an AOI - except that it does not automatically make the pass/fail decisions. It is up to the operator to

I guess I've been somewhat ignorant when it comes to the finer details of pcb layout. Lately I've read a couple of books that try their best to lead me on the straight and narrow. Here is a couple of examples of a recent board of mine, and I have hig
