We are looking at moving into a building that has drops from a three-phase 240V delta, corner grounded transformer. They currently have a lot of 230V Bridgeport milling machines and other motor operated equipment on this transformer. We are coming fr

Hi SMT members, New member here. I have a few questions about the industry standard coating processes to help me investigate if our R&D company's technology would be valuable for your industry. 1. How crucial is the quality of the coating proce

Is that no solder on the left hand pins in the picture? If so, it could be a directional thing. Have you tried turning the board 90º or 180º from the current direction of travel? Not a huge fan of wave solder for SMT components personally, though,

Support. You will want a radiation survey done annually. At a previous company having the manufacturer do it would have meant paying for the air fare and hotel for their tech to do it. I had found a company that usually did other things but could do

Specs like beam voltage, current and focal point size are important considerations for image quality and you can spend hours going down the rabbit hole learning about them. Fundamentally, what really matters is if you can get an image clear enough to

+1 to what Sr. Tech said. I'd also add that you could have some uneven deterioration of the centering jaws. Check by doing a couple of things (this will help check if the tool/tip is bent/deteriorated as well): 1. Turn off mechanical centering, and

I have a (new to me) Quad QSA-30A that I just got about a week ago. At first, I could get it to go ready most of the time, now it will never go ready. I have traced the ready button into the DPRAM board and the logic is OK all the way into one of t

Aurash, we own Yamaha machinery but just throwing it out there...are the movements of the motors smooth or with friction? Is it possible that the linear screw rods (as in our machinery) require to be lubricated? There are special lubricants for each

yes Once I was using dewers of liquid N2 and recommended switching. I tried using air to the machine so the sensor would let the machine run. Boards went from good to a two inch icicle covering a large area. We went to a wall mounted single stage fi
