I have been earnestly seeking out a resource from whom I might purchase used Philips feeders for the ACM line. Due to its relatively recent introduction into the market, these are rather hard to find, and have not had much luck going through Philips

John, Ahhhh the possibilities. Have you considered the dissipative properties of available substrates? A ceramic (excellent heat dissipation) based substrate could be a possibility for future designs. Maybe there are surface mount parts out there fo

That's cool that you used the Archive. Consider running a designed experiment on your board, using your flux and solder, the limits from the Archive, and on your machine to dial in the spread in dwell numbers you see in the SMTnet Archives to your s

We are using Austin American Technologies with Petroferm solutions and have excellent results using the same two types of solvents for cleaning stencils, adhesives and miss print boards. I average about five hundred cleaning cycles before we have the
