Maybe I was not clear in my original post. So we have boards that have SMD components on one side and TH components on the opposite side. We want to assemble the boards using our SMT and Wave lines. Now the problem is that if we solder the SMD firs

I've inherited an old HTI screen printer, and have been told that it was in operation before it was sent to my shop. I'm now trying to get it working, but, with no knowledge of the printer or the control system, I keep banging my head against it. A

I started a new job about 6 months ago, and the screen printer is an Ekra E4. I have never used one before, but have used a variety of them and I have 13 years experience mainly in surface mount. I cannot seem to get consistency out of this machine

Okay guys (and my fellow lady lurkers), I am trying to determine WHAT the segmentation is for the products in the pick and place industry. For example, I know in screen/stencil printing, there are manuals, there are semi-automatics, mid- and high-ra
