Rick, You might want to consider a Quad 4000C. Even though Quad is out of business, parts and support are available from Precision Placement Machines. They are rebuilt with a warranty and run Windows 7. They offer intelligent feeders and if you don'

Sergey, I understand your thought process kinda, but you are not going to justify yourself a pick and place line based on a "simple" 5K board contract unless you know something we don't. You do not want a machine that has buggy or slow software. Any

Hmmm.... When I clean my stencils after I run a job, it is to clean the paste off the stencil so it doesn't dry out in the apertures and on the stencil surface while it is being stored. Wiping the stencils during production is to clear the paste of

UL listing is handled by the customer typically. I am assuming you are a contract manufacturer producing only a component pcb assembly for use in a product final assembly and not the final product itself. We are a manufacturer that does our own popul

Here is some food for thought. Try to answer these questions yourself and I am sure you will see huge improvement. Reasons: - Bad PCB design - Plating-uneven HASL cause more than OSP Au/Ni or Silver - Poor paste and print quality - uneven paste ca

Mid-production our KE-730 halted and gave us a “SUB CPU1:BUS ERROR” message on the video monitor. Then we got on the same monitor a detailed error message with address and byte information (unfortunately I didn’t copy the details). Now when we boot

Hello, I have a few PCB boards i am trying to be manufactured that are miniaturized medical devices. Thus they require IPC Class 3 Specs. However as miniature devices they have limited space, including a 0.4mm pitch BGA socket, which currently has

I am looking for a source of metal pins. The rough dimensions are 0.500” long, and 0.025” x 0.025” square. They will be soldered to circuit cards on both ends, so must be a solder able metal. No special needs in the strength area, i just need a good

I am not sure that is doable. Ground Aperture is very small(for the stencil blade to get in there) and very close to the other apertures. I want to say the minimum requirement for step is 6mm clearance from other apertures for the stencil houses that
