We had a cooler fail once, before we had any SMT. Auto-insert was at the far end of the building, at the end of the compressed air line. When the Unimod (dip inserter) sprayed the operator with water when the pneumatic table rotation motor fired up

Copper is best! I've seen troubles with black pipe - the pipe is not always clean on the inside and debris or mill scale makes it into your equip. eventually. We've also used PVC to get by/quick fix and we always ended up blowing a fitting or even

I never thought about painting our copper piping. I always thought the patina that covers the pipes adds a bit of history and class, ya know an antique-feel, to the shop. I was in a shop years ago that used PVC piping for their air. From looking a

Only use the shop air if it is clean and dry. I know from experience that one can get water and a little oil from the compressor in the air lines. We are in a drier climate with humidity levels in the 25%-35% range on average. All we do is let the

Good point on the shop air. Shop air can also generate a tremendous amount of ESD. There are special nozzles you can get to minimize it. We use our shop air mostly for blowing out connectors, and larger components that have a history of trapping w
