There may be a better way, but this is how we do it: We have one SMT line and ALL SMT parts are kept in the SMT area. There is no kitting of SMT parts...only through hole, etc. For each SMT part in our ERP system, we set for backflush. That means th

The tendancy always has been "when in doubt, touch it up"... this is not the way to "verify the process" and is not the best strategy for multiple reasons (unessecary rework, additional labor costs, as well as making the solder joint more brittle, [i

| We are a small division. We are starting up a leadless line with an old screen printer and a convection oven. At this time we don't intend to get any sort of pick and place assistance and wil be loading by hand. We find the biggest problem with

Jack, No need to get frustrated. There is not an optimization software made that will end up with a program that runs faster than doing the same program manually. There are too many ways to speed up production for the software to consider. Even if it

You see, if you can optimize your product setup that will be the best. Back in the days, engineers used only standard values. For resistors for example I used to build boards having 100, 330, 470, 1k, 3.3k.....Sometimes that means you might end up wi

Is it just possible that H49s crysats are hard to place, so it looks like it has been place by a perfectionistic instead of looked like it had a parachute type loading. This is the H49 short stubby type crystal about 10 mm long (width) about 4.5 mm

> A/cph, then you need a second chip shooter. Then each chip shooter will place B/2 parts and possibly catch up with the pick&place machine. If the line has 2 chipshooters and a pick&place, it will be pretty hard to use the one unused chipshooter fo
