Doesn't that depend on your company's culture & management style? We (and I feel slightly dirty using this word)empowered our end of line inspection/touch up people & trained them to know what is good or bad - so issues can be immediately fed back,

There's not many ways of doing it on the cheap except... Buy a second hand universal GSM1 with VME 630 vision, 0.5 mil per pixel camera & some expensive ceramic nozzles for the 0201's. This will be quite slow & the software quite awkward but lookin

Any tried and true methods for tracking WIP with a paper system? A good white paper on the subject or even a decent book reference that covers the topic would be great. It's really never been done here before and beyond establishing time standards a

Howdy Bolo, I see. I currently run a 5 zone 1500 Heller, It's a very nice reflow oven and one of my favorites. Hopefully in July we will be getting in our 1700 from Heller. These reflow ovens (used) can be had for a pretty decent price at least in
