Up until this point, my company has been hand soldering all of our assemblies. We are a high reliability manufacturer and work to the IPC-610 Class three/ target. We just received a Reflow Solder Batch Oven. It is a small oven, a Gold-Flow GF-B. I ha

As I was explaining in my thread, the things that you have to look for when buying an AOI is the false calls rate (which you described perfectly) vis a vis the money and time you want to spend. We bought our machine after that we evaluated some. As y

The Advantis with a lightning head is less accurate at chipshooting than a Fuji CP643. That's progress? Yes it is a great platform for it's space & yes it is a good all in one package, and the IC aacuracy is far better than stated. But you run o

I am searching for any information concerning this type of SMT placement equipment. Currently our facility utilizes Panasonic CM202 inline with MyData MY12 machines for our production builds. Our managment has found a couple of the Siemens machines

We are a low volume (100k-150k parts per month) high mix shop that is equipped with a couple of Quad IVc's. The machines meet our overall capacity needs but can not give us the quick turns we need if we get hit with multiple large setups at once.

Look into a used Siemens F-4 or F-5. These machines can be had for a reasonable cost, they are easy to maintain, the footprint is small (7' X 7.5') and they are simple to program. These machines have a 12 nozzle "Star" revolving placement head for

CS-400C: As with anything, once you are up on the learning curve its really not that bad. The "E" machines should be easier due to the touchscreen and the floppies are PC compatible unlike the "C" and "D". There are third party software providers tha

What pick and place machine? Depends where you are. If in the UK or Europe and on a tight budget I would go for an old Philips/Assembleon Topaz, but only because I know the machines and where to buy them cheap, good freelance engineers and a good lo

Thank you for your response. I'm new to SMT so I am constantly learning. Unfortunately have not come across books that go in detail about these issues (if I ever get time I might write one). I have an older universal gi-14d (7 spindle head, dual g
