check if the top plate which is used for tray change is on it's place, also in manual mode you can see on Sig.IO page all sensors status and you can figure out which sensor is activated

I appreciate the response, but it doesn't really help answer my question as I've used the methods you've mentioned in the past without much luck. I'm looking specifically for a source of FR4 coupons, or the like. Thanks!

Evtimov, Check them: http://www.mb-mfg.com/products/surface-mount-carriers Only for instance. All can remember material I was using was black and made of pressed fibers. It was hardly treatable as well. Regards, Pavel

To add to what Rob has said, Have you considered an ESD safe environment? Floors, Racks, tables, etc.... Also the humidity level of your area incase you use MSD parts? Just a thought.

To be clear: Is the break occurring at the solder joint location? Also, can you advise what solder chemistry you are currently using?

I think SEHO GoWave 1030 is better than ERSA ETS 330. The SEHO GoWave 1030 is a powerful soldering system for mass soldering applications. It's used for all types of soldering.

Oh wow that is very useful insight! I will remove and check next time we fire up the machine! How did you know the factory size of the intake hole?

Hi Steve, I just confirmed with the manufacturer and the HASL is tin/lead (or it is supposed to be, at least). Any suggestions for how to test for nickel vs tin/lead? We're using an alcohol based no-clean flux from Alpha.

I recommend examining the problem pads and a representative bare board using SEM/EDS to determine if the problem is related to a board solderability issue. I can support this type of analysis (www.semlab.com).

My best suggestion would be to write a contract that says "payment in full upon our acceptance." The problem with used pick and place is getting support. All of the manufacturers decided that unless you bought the machine from them, you are going to
