I would look at the Samsung CP40 or 45. They have the placement rates you want even a little better on the 40. the 45 will double that easily. They handle all types of parts down to 0201 components. Depending on the camera you select (25mm) you ca

Doing a little poll here. How many of you are using lead free paste and what type/brand are you using. We are using Alpha OM338 SAC405. I am not liking it very much so far. It seems to be too viscous. It is definitely the thinnest stuff I have e

I'll jump on this bandwagon too... A crude method was buying a bread rack and widening it to the width of a fixed stencil. Since we get our foils from A-Laser, we get these card board squares. I would tape three of these pieces together to make a som

Good Morning Everyone, I have a question that probably doesnt have a definitive answer. I have been asked to try to establish a norm for RMA rates. My first thought is the goal is always 0% but knowing that that is not readily achievable, I am in se

We just spent $100 and updated our Vitronics 800 oven software and it only shows only ONE zone for the entire machine. Vitronics wants $2,000 for a service call! Does anyone know what config file or software menu changes the number of software zones

Hi, We've got a 6622, been running since Jan & does a good job. You may want to consider the smart wave option as this will (allegedly)force solder up the holes to give you better joints for lead free. Spray fluxer works very well, limiting the am
