I have worked with Epoxy Technology in the past with silver epoxy. Just to fill you in on what I have been doing with this project in the past. I was using a silver epoxy for my 0201s. I then over molded with an epoxy with a dam and fill. Then th

Hi, I had Assembleon machines for many years, and worked through a total of nine of them. Three years ago we began to look at the short-comings we had, based on the machines capabilities. We started to look for a new SMT platform that could improve

There are several big competitors out in the field. Since a few years 3D AOI is getting more and more populair. The reliability is much higher compared to comparing grey scales (pixels) with one another. Measuring the height, length and width of a co

The answer is CyberOptics. Buy Viscom SPI and you are already buying "CyberOptics Inside". Koh Young is far too expensive these days for comparable systems and Parmi is still an "Up and Comer" with a short track history leaving most of the long ter

Scratches do not necessarily mean bad! Usually the forcer motor fails before a platen. The motors become weak or don't evenly distribute the supplied air, which causes them to tilt and drive into the platens. Mechanical misalignment of the VY forcer

Yes, you need to run the 'offsets' calibration to correct the offset issue. If the machine is in good working order and all of the other alignments and cal's are completed then you are good shape to go to run this cal. If not, you could waste a few

Hi, is there a reason why washing "no-clean" flux residue off of boards with 1(or 2)-ethoxy-propanol is not a widespread practice? This chemical is more commonly known as Henkel/Loctite/Multicore SC01. I've long known, as I'm sure most people do, t

I'm making some PCB's that have some DC to DC converters on them with three 5 Volt converters, one 15 volt converter, and a converter with +/- 12 volts DC. On the PCB the output pins are in a connector that are fairly close to each other. I want to m

Long story short: I paid someone to convert some older Gerber files to the new RS-274x format for me so I could have them manufactured. I sent them the original Gerber files (RS-274D) along with additional files showing information on the layout. T

As Evitomov says, provided you check everything is setup correctly there should be no issue. There can be some variation between manufacturers as to how they package certain components. For example 2512 resistors are usually in 12mm tape with a 4mm s
