We store alot of our reels on portable wire shelves. We created a "floating island" between the computer station and the SM machines. Push them together when machines are running...wheel near a machine when loading a job.

Hi, I just saw the new NXT machines at globaltronics in Singapore, and mostly they are faster. However what was interesting is Fuji shows a prototype of the new XPF machine, but it was called XPF-W which handles really large PCB's and uses the sam

Time, time, time. There just never seems to be enough!!! Eh? You�re correct. Depending on the material, some trays can take a high temperature bake, while other trays, in addition to tubes, and reels, require a low temperature bake. With this la

What�s the best storage method in controlling SMT parts ? Currently we get all the parts from our stores for certain jobs and stock them in our Reel Racks with their designated part numbers. When they�re in SMT area they all get mixed up with some of

Good morning everyone, I'd really appreciate your input on some of the best ways to create a dry environment for MSD storage. Line down-time is considerable when we have to pull of and reload 20 reels of MSD parts at the beginning and end of each s

To All, I am looking for some feedback on the storage and handling of moisture sensative components. Mostly what people do for tubes and reels since most of these cant handle more than 60c.the ipc standard states that they can be baked at 40c.The onl

Pete Con Keeping the reels resident on the Agilis feeders is one of the key points of the feeder design. The critical points are to make changing feeders very quick less than 20 seconds per change out. You should have all your feeders on reels sta

Help! I have a small SMT section that produces low volume but high mix assemblies and, therefore, has over 300 devices. I am looking for a low cost flexible storage solution and believe I have an idea which I recall is available but I cannot find w

Hi Sarry, it�s a mess sometimes with those things. We all look for component issues and sometimes forget the packing material and how it handles. Those paper carriers often caused problems when for some reasons they were exposed to moisture during

There is the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 that addresses moisture sensitive components. Go to http://www.ipc.org for the standard. Your factory/storage area environment will dictate exposure times allowable. Be mindful of temperature and humidity changes- lik
