So after barcoding takes place, is this info sent to the feeder or the outside world (is the feeder just a number that the pick and place machine looks for or does the feeder tell the machine what it has)? I guess if every machine and remote feeder f

After bar-coding or manual data entry the data is in the Mydata database. The data is not stored in the feeder but in the database. The database links the component data to a serialized feeder and to a PCB s/n or production batch code. The machine so

I work for a major OEM as well, and we have close to 1000 stencils in house. We just recently went to a new way of labeling our stencils. We ordered metal ID tags out of McMaster, and assigned a Number to each stencil. We then attached each tag to t

I know it is not what you want to hear, but first and foremost, you must consult your local regulating agencies and here is why: Solder paste contains heavy metals. We are all familiar with the problems associated with lead, but lead free solder pas

Well, it finally happened. A machine Operator did not follow our bar code process and "grabbed a tube of solder paste" and guess what. Built 250 assemblies with LF paste when it should have been Tin/Lead!!!! SOLDER PASTE SUPPLIERS: can you make t
