It is a very interesting thought. However, teach all positions on the PCB might be challenging if you don't have them in the file. I think it is a smart think for OEMs as they would have all the resources to control their files. For CEM I don't see i

Sergey, For a component OEM lab I agree that X-ray is probably the first priority, especially for process development and monitoring. Be sure to get a system with sample tilt and high resolution capability. When SAM is needed, a service provide

As stated above, be more specific. What position are you working and for what type of business? PCB fabrication? Component manufacturer? OEM or CM circuit board assembly?

I think most of the european PCB assemblers will be ready, however taking it further to retail stocks & waste disposal is another matter. Checking the stats of our parent company (a component distributor) 97% of all components shipped are ROHS compl

All, I am curious as to how other OEM's, CM's, etc., notify their component suppliers of not properly packaging and or labeling components that are moisture-sensitive. What about components acquired through distributors? Currently, I am having my Co

Flexibility (if what I am thinking about flexibility is correct) is more important than speed. Most of the time spent on reloads, not the runs. We have high mix and fairly low volume (100-1000) Medium complexity QFPs, 0402, LEDs 100-2000 components p

Maybe there's no test and I don't know where or why my customer came with that requirement (I think because in one of the board shipments he got a board were a smd resistor broke, but I think that happened because miss handling), but anyway I need so

Everything we do is RF and have had no problems in the last 7 years with - Indium NC-SMQ92J, Sn63 Pb 37, 90.25% Metal, -325+500 mesh. Stencils are always 0.005" thick. However I will qualify that by adding we are an OEM and each new product may requi

There is two directions I see here...1) you are looking for a bid comaprison or 2) you are going to build boards with the machines you cause they are not being used in full capasity. Some OEMs and/or CEMs charge extra for "cut tape" (Not full reel)c
