Most PNP machines and AOI machines shuld have a X out feature. For us we use to use whiteout pens to mark the badsense spot. Now atm we use white lables, becuase there is no dry time. The lables have there own issues, They cause overpasteing issues

I've got a small smt board I've already got working prototypes of, which uses a tactile switch. I've got another much less expensive tact switch of similar size that I had avoided due to a difference in actuators I originally had no way around. Now I

Without PCB layout, not much would get done. It is a ubiquitous need across industries; Industrial, consumer, military...Everywhere you look, there are chips soldered to PCBs to create a final product for the end customer. But where did we all learn

I like the idea that files are stored on a Lan system. Typically lans are backed up daily or weekly by the IT department. If not they should be backed up on tape or disk weekly, monthly, etc. depending on how often new programs are released. The m

John, I'll try to take a crack at it. We manufacture our own boards, and have a high mix. We currently have BOTH a Camalot 2800 Dispenser and a DEK 260 Screen printer. We use the camalot for glue applications, and prototype paste. We use the printe

Thanks for your responses, gentlemen. I'm really just looking at options, and frankly, being a novice at this stuff I'm looking for the info. required to make a semi educated decision. You, kind sirs, are my educators. And that probably scares m

The profile that you should be using, hopefully, is detailed in the paste data sheet. Connect your thermocouples to various parts of the board, depending on layout, population etc; and then run some trials observing the profile on your oven monitor/

Without using a glass plate you could check if your jaws could properly align the compomnents by writing a small vice versa program. Place a component in a 0 degree angle and another one right next to it in a 180 degree angle. Built up a line of lets

Guys A question regarding design rules of a WSC.We are currently running a high volume product, and as usual the design layout is as such where half the through hole connectors are perpendicular to the wave, and surprise,surpise the other half are'n
