We've been using pre-printed labels on our PCB's for years, with 8 - 10 hours a week down time associated with them. Last October we put a CO2 laser marker on one of our lines. In 6 months we've had a total of 30 minutes down time. We use a 2D b

In a typical flowline assembly of circuit boards, what are the different methods used for tracking WIP ? I can think of : 1. travel cards - not suitable for panelised boards 2. Marking ID# on board at various operations while board is being built.

Ashok- Rather than ink, consider using a paint marker. This is much more permanent (not easily removed with alcohol), is easily applied, comes in a "pen" like magic markers. Many pen tips available and a large choice of colors too. The down side is

We are having a problem with inspection markings on our boards running when conformal coating is applied We have tried standard permanant markers, and also paint markers, but both run when the coating is applied. There must be someone out there who

We are applying a SR conformal coating via aerosol. Both permanent marker and paint pen are running as soon as the spray hits it

I need some help to see if anyone knows of a vendor that makes a permanent marker that is in the Houston area that can write on a PCB the size of a grain of rice using white permanent ink...That's the amount of space we have to write our serial numbe

I have found that Edding do an aerospace marker, which is water based and does not run with the conformal coating. However, this washes off prior to the coating so it is not much use. Looks like we are just going to have to put some clear tape over

For laser marking you don�t require as powerful lasers then for cutting. A 20 Watt laser diode does already a good job. Because of the safety requirements the laser operates in an enclosure, which means more $$$ if you want to use the laser in line
