Here's my 2 cents worth.....as if anyone cares??? Spend: 1 million for a machine = 1 million in R&D on the machine 100,000 for a machine = 100,000 in R&D on the machine. if spending the 100,000, then you need to hire a qualified engineer to maintain

All: IPC does not directly state any criteria for physical characteristics of what a filled via should look like when embedded within a surface mount component's pad. I am using several of these in my design, and have received PCBs that exhibi

Actually, it's not even close to 3/8". It's more like 0.075"...not sure what I was smoking last night (I tried to guess on dimensions from my house, and now I have one in front of me). Anyway, to answer your question, the bulge is in between side A

We will be outsourcing all of our PCBAs and would like to know if other companies perform DVT testing, ESD, Emissions on all of your boards or only on main boards? Our shipping deadline is near and I would like to determine the risk in not performing

Hi, I am looking for someone to repair my Universal Digitizer/Programmer model 6892. I can not get the "@" sign after loading the GEN.exe to UIC and also the X,Y display, over the digitizing table is blank. I think, there is a hardware issue. An

Well the powers that be actually want to go with a regular rework station, for future growth. I guess they plan on using BGAs sometime in the near future. We're also planning on using a D-Pak device in this first board. So now we're looking at the

I agree re; "always will be some assemblies that must be repaired". This is unlikely to lessen in the near term with an imminent move toward Lead-free. We are currently working with Cookson, PACE, and BEST developing a course in lead-free rework wh

Mat, Are you sure you should be using SnPb HASL boards if you are doing prep for lead free? If you aren't actually going to comply with RoHS then fire away. Nearly all of our assemblies are now ENIG and as any re-design comes up on a HASL board it is

The Juki KE-2060 machine has a very good programming tool for programming odd components. I have thrown quite a few odd connectors and odd BGA at it and the machine placed them all. Custom nozzles can be pricy, so I always try to find a way to use

Can you not track placement accuracy/feeder performance/print performance just via the AOI in near real time? Once you get a feel for it you can usually tell where the fails stem from, and at most you are only usually around 10 minutes out depending
