We use Photondynamics SV-7550 now. We want to upgrade our AOI because we found that SV-7550 are not very good to detect solder defects. I send samples boards at each company with the solder defects that i can't detect with my Photondynamics SV-7550.

Your real problem is further upstream. The limitations of your AOI aside, first find out why your leads are being lifted. Is it through handling or are they from the reel that way? To address your AOI question, Hegemon is correct, coplanarity inspe

Heck, now I look up and see this is SMTdotNET. Do I get banned for asking a TH question? So here's my first real TH issue after living so long in the SMT world. We are having a sudden issue in what has been a stable process for quite some time. I

hi, the last post on pad cratering dates from 2012. We have (likely similar) problems with a RoHS 783 solder ball BGA size 29x29mm^2 (organic package BT), pitch is 1mm and solder ball diam is 0.5mm the field failure is after 12 months, almost exclu

The key to longevity in any automated soldering machine is in the preventative maintenance. If the machine has had regular maintenance preformed on it, your job will be that much easier. The 1st thing I would do is to either throw out the solder t

Is the process the same for every product running through the selective solder machine? Load program, acquire or set up fixture, Change/load flux?, Change/Load solder pot? Are the machines cold when the operators need to use them or are the machin

Hi all, We are having a confusing defect with one of our client's boards. It is a large board, 30" x 12". The client supplies the LEDs, they are cheap overseas diodes, and it is not uncommon to have reels with the packaging torn. We have w
