Hi CJ, if you need a rework station for any SMD's (fine pitch, BGA's, chips, SOT, ...), maybe you should also check ERSA that offers rework stations with computer controlled thermal profile (meaning you can apply a typical profile for each typical re

6 month back in China -Panasonic CM402 and Dt401 beat NXT flat in terms of quantity and quality so so. Panasonic used RF CVT system for component verification and E plant view to monitor the production output.They were also able to plot charts and g

I agree that using floppy's would be too much hassle, especially with updates and such. Turn on your security system on the GSM and create System and Operator logins. Create a password for System and nothing for Operator. Then in order to make cha

Based on the components mentioned, it sounds like you need a soldering station rather than a bga rework station. The equipment mentioned would allow you to rework fine pitch QFPs and BGAs. Reworking an sot-23 using one of those systems is inefficie

I am currently using the following equipment for low volume and occasional BGA rework: BGA-3591/CSP-3501 115V Rework System. This system is fairly inexpensive, unsure of the actual price, However, can be used to rework QFP and PLCC components.(of co

A thorough analysis is in order because laser point-to-point soldering lacks the flexibility of the bottom sided miniwave systems. My experience showed that heating profiles could be grossly affected by color temperature and thermal mass. This can be

Good day, Is there on the market any machine independent barcode reading system? We have some placement machines with build-in barcode reading system. When operator changes the reel with components he/she checks reel with barcode scanner. Some of th

Just recently installed new machine with Hawkeye 400, the vision system is extremely easy to set up and run. We have only been running but 6 weeks, but I would recommend the system versus the cost of a inline solder paste inspection systems. If you i

I believe I understand what Ken is talking about. Most "calibrating" is done but applying a known voltage to the thermocouple reader. But what if the thermocouple wires are not producing the expected voltage? I bet your paperwork is for just the r

Hi I am using selective soldering to dip soldering the connector pins to the PCB and would like to know your experience: a) Is there a recommended dip or dwell time for the dip soldering? b) How do we improve the solder coverage in the TH? c) How t
