Just my two cents, but our findings were that the Yestech system was more in-line with our type of high mix, mid volume manufacturing. In my research, I found the Yestech to be the most favored for our applications, with most contract shops I talked

Consider this: The inner balls will be at a lower temperture than the outer balls in reflow, so if you cannot inpsect them then that may be where your problem lies. Are you reworking with a specialist machine that is directing the right amount of h

We have used 2 lubricants in the past. The first was Isopropal alcohol, this has issues with regard to H&S but can be quite effective. Most of our product at the time we encountered this problem were washed in a semi aqueous system before shipping. A

Hover Davis makes a feeder that can be fitted to many pick and place machines. Runs about 7k. I've seen print on demand feeders at tradeshows for about 30k. If you've got enough volume, you could also laser etch. There's more capital involved, bu

We picture that the 'ridges' are partitions that run parallel in the box and are spaced wide enough to: * Hold the boards vertical by sliding them into the ridges * Prevent the boards from bumping together Can you rearrange these partitions to form

Looking at the Emerald machines, they do seem like they'd fit the bill quite nicely. Other than the operating system, is one generation markedly better than the others? I have all the data on the X2 from the manufacturer's site, but what changed from

I've also found that mechanical feeders require much more maintenance than the 'smart' magazines do. Also remember that 'smart' magazines also give you the opportunity to change the setup quickly if necessary, and swap feeders if all can't fit on th
