Whether the Juki is a great machine or not is irrelevant as we just can't justify the "starting from" price of $87k (€58k). So, thanks for the suggestion, but we're trying to keep this under $20k and given that sort of budget we could either buy a cr

reash, Go directly to APS and get one of the APS GF-12 ovens. I have been using these for 15 years as a low-to-medium volume oven for general purpose reflow of CCAs up to about 12" by 12" with excellent results. I use them for BGA re-balling, underfi

jamm, As with the other answers you've received, I agree there will be a difference. The question is will the difference between the temperatures of the product profiled at the mesh belt put you out of spec when you run production on the rail? the ke

I'm in St. Louis, MO, US Midwest. I wrote my own CAm interface, and it works REALLY well. It is only about 2 pages of c code. Of course, it only translates from one CAD package's format to one P&P machine's format. That makes it much simpler to w

Hi All, We evaluated and approved KESTER R520A for our default RoHS solder paste a couple years back. It's time to re-evaluate to see if this material is still the best choice. Please let me know your opinion on the solder paste you are using, and

We experiences some failures on PCB assemblies from the field when a methacrylate epoxy adhesive was used to secure some through-hole components to pcb board as reinforcement against vibration. During application, the epoxy covered some smaller SMT c
