This is indeed yet another proof that under impulse of the RoHS directives all norms are flushed down the drain. Bean counters are slowly but surely taking over our industry because they no longer face resistance by form of standards. Even the basic

Howdy aj, wow! Be prepared for serious problems with corrosion of your stainless steel workings of your pump. Last I looked changing a wave solder pot over to nitrated coating for electrovert was in the neighborhood of 18-20K. I'm not a betting man

Hi, Thanks for all the help guys, and we did a bunch of things to get it working. We raised the pump speed, and also went to a water based flux, which helped a lot. We also reduce pre heat as we were burning off the flux. It's doing really nice jo

Has anybody else noticed a problem with Assembl�on's mechanical 12 mm feeders, with 4 mm pitch? We are experiencing grave pickup problems with a MELF diode packed this way and fed with this type of feeder. If I attach a hefty weight to the blister ta

I am currently contemplating the purchase of a pcb prototyping machine. The machine will be used to prototype some patch antennas, microwave circuits, embedded systems, boards for various surface mount chips evaluations, possibly milling PZT materia

I am considering moving my spray fluxer into a completely separate operation. Has anybody any comments of sraying VOC free flux on boards, then putting them in a drier/holding rack for possibly say overnight, then running them through wave solder?

800 degrees? Ouch! I find that every company that I do training for has at least one person that likes to go through one tip a day. The solution is tip tinning. Tell your operators to wipe the tip on a damp sponge often. Do not buy your sponges

Hello bpeach, We purchased a Mirtec for our first AOI machine after a side by side comparison of three different manufacturers. The Mirtec proved to be far superior to the others that we had looked at. Initially, the intention of the AOI was to prov
