We run 5 Fuji lines. The newest machine is a 97 and the oldest is a 94. Some of them were seriously neglected PM wise before we got them. All of them place parts "dead nuts". They very rarely break down. We run 3 shifts 5 days a week.(We run the cr

In-Circuit Test is the best method for ensuring solder joint connections. It is a much more reliable than AOI. An ICT machine can ensure solder connections are made for array package devices such as BGA, PGA, etc... AOI is best for component I.D.- is

Mike, Have you contacted Universal Instruments yet? If not you should call them. If I am thinking of the same oven, this oven was manufactured by ETS (Energy Technology Systems) or http://www.energytechnologysystems.com. I take it you bought this

Good Morning jobbie, We have several Mydata lines. We are building low volume high mix as well. Our CPH had been identified as approximately 6000-8000 CPH depending on the application of course. We do have a separate setup area however that stages a

What is your budget limit? That is going to be a major factor in what you end up with. We have a machine that is lower cost and it performs lower cost. It works and we always get the job done correctly but we cannnot use "canned programs" on it. i

We've had poor luck with leaders - inefficient, not cost effective for the price of the parts usually. In my opinion, your best bet is to over-issue parts to a scrap # that works for you (all feeders are different as are machine scrap rates). This

We've been placing BGAs for a while now, and I personally had to x-ray every one of them. The only time we had a placement problem was when a few parts were placed by machine in the wrong orientation. The operators fixed it by hand before it went t

We are a low volume (100k-150k parts per month) high mix shop that is equipped with a couple of Quad IVc's. The machines meet our overall capacity needs but can not give us the quick turns we need if we get hit with multiple large setups at once.

So It happens that we are having an installation crew here working on our second wave solder machine. It is a Vitronics Soltec that we bought for lead free processing. I personally used Ekra and vitronics and Electrovert at other companies. I believ

I agree with Chunks. Programming was much simpler. The 2D inspection is much better on MPM. I didn't have to use offsets on the MPM or the DEK very often, but did more on teh DEK. I didn't like the front justified stencils on the DEK. I also did
