What type of feeder storage carts do you use for your feeders? I have many of the Fuji CP-6 racks, but I have found the few Mossman Tebbs racks mor useful and safer for the feeders. I am constantly fixing damaged tape leaf covers from operators not

I have been had doing surface mount boards for a while and am now looking for a cheap fairly small footprint machine to help get more boards out. The problem is I don't know a lot about pick and place machines and there are so many different kinds s

Hi, I have just taken a look at the Connector Images. Is there a difference in pitch between both connectors ? From the photo it looks like the Annular Rings are oversized on Image #1 especially around the centre area ( this might be the image ).

I am not completely sure why it would tell you "board will not be populated" and then build it anyway, but if the only difference between the two programs (working one, not working one) is the fiducials are smaller, did you try reducing the search ar

All posters here are right. My point was you have to design your board to the process. You cannot simply take any connector and change it to Pin and Paste. So much depends on your aperture openings, hole size to pin size, board thickness, number o

You may want to try raising your pre-heater if you have one. I would also suggest trying different fluxes that may be a little more active so you can use less. What type of fluxer are you using? Selective solder flux residue is a gray area. This i
