You will need to preheat the boards for a lead free selective solder process. A preheat module is critical for any wave or selective solder process, if you don't get the board preheated properly the solder is going to resist flowing to the top of the

For selective soldering I would first look at the alloys your products require. Do you run tin-lead, lead free or both? If you run (or may run in the future) two alloys, then look for a machine that has quick change solder pots. Secondly, do your bo

Lasers can go quite often, but if you are lucky and not in a great hurry you can get them refurbished dirt cheap. If you have a good 750/760 that has been well maintained it should run for a long time, but if it has not been loved you can end up payi

Hi Reckless, Depends on model of Samsung & Juki. For example you talked earlier of a Juki 750 compared to an Assembleon Opal Xii, which were different generations - a fair comparison would have been a Juki 2060 to an Opal Xii. Same with the Samsu

No issues with the OS, it is called VIOS. Good spares support from China, also should be good USA support as there are a fair few machines there. Assembleon has a website for USA spares, including a lot of the old Yamaha machines. Personally, I

Note that the TF2800 features a large 7 panel preheater with an adjustable height component that allows you to adjust the height of the IR preheater to get much closer to the board. This feature multiples the power of the preheater exponentially, so

A question for those that carry out SPI. How do you program? Do you take CAD data for the card which will provide a 1-1 pad outline or do you use the stencil data for the program is the actual tool used to determine the paste volume (Aperture reduct

Hi Jeff, Good question, but entirely dependant on what you are trying to do with it, your budget, and your company's eco system. For example, do you need traceability, scheduling, materials purchasing and handling, accounts, Customer management sof

I haven't worked on a Topaz of any sort in over 10 years but I'm going to guess that even if you accessed that table, you would see a 0 someplace that you should be seeing a 1. It sounds like *maybe* an input signal from that sensor is not reaching

When you say "....is there a way to easily (or at all) reference parts with the same specs..." do you mean when ordering stencils, or are you trying to drive your designers to choose a package that you already have in play when they have package opti
