Hey Mike- We ran into the same thing when we purchased a Large CanadianManufacturers repair business. We were creative and first used an ESD bag cut open (Simulate the paper idea) then we used a 3M parts bin and would tip it on its corner to funnel t

I ran some test samples with a water soluble past (Amatech ws488). I also tried hand soldering using an Alpha ws375 wave soldering flux and some old fashioned RMA. The results are pretty much the same. Some of the joints look a better that others b

We have the E's with a dual picker. The warehouse is currently split into 1114 different part numbers by splitting some bins between 2 different part numbers. We also do share common part numbers on the outside bins of the warehouse. We have a total
