Good luck with that. If you can find a source for 10X-40X zoom scopes on a boom stand with a fiberoptic illuminator for $200 let me know. The light systems new are about $250. As a point of reference, I think we paid about $2k for a Meiji system l

Not exactly sure what your specific requirements are but I am in the process of clearing out a major OEM's SMT facility. Lots and lots of general production equipment is available such as stencil carts, production benches (with and without lights and

Hola We do AOI for most of our products, but a few ones goes to visual inspection only... -I have the inspection stations with a magnifier & some with a microscope. -I also use an "inspection mask" which has been very useful, it actually covers the P

Cannot comment on "best buy". You'll have to determine what the better machine is for your application and duration of planned use. I suggest taking a field trip to each vendor's nearest demo facility with a few of your most hi-tech boards and stenci

You can buy plenty of paste height measuring systems today, ranging from full 3D laser systems to systems using an oblique light line which will measure the paste height only. I found that the lowest cost option was to attach a DTI to the focus contr

dave, you are right on. a blow torch isn't needed to light a fire. a small coplanar aluminum block works extremely well. my dept fixes thousands of fine pitch parts to to less than 4 mils from low lead to high lead every month. all we use is a sm

First, I suggest that people search the SMTnet Archives in just about every response that I make. Second, you need to work on your DOE jargon * Factors. Independent or input variables * Effects. Results. Dependent or output variables. Third, the

Hello Loz, Blue residues on circuit boards can be caused by copper corrosion, component body deterioration, marking permanently, and adhesive break down. In this case, a more subtle mechanism appears to be possible. This is a no clean application
