What kind of equipments you were using to detect lead? Has any existing regulation to setup the limit of lead content to determine the lead free process?

My recollection is that RoHS limits for lead is 0.1% of the weight of any homogeneous material in the assembly.

Some pick and place machine manufacturers offer dual lane feeders which may double the machine's feeder capacity. What are the pros/cons of using dual lane feeders in a high mix environment? Are they just for 8mm? Thanks!

A pattern emerges, but really I think it means plan/optimise for your day/week not a single job. Our machine uses 10's, this means there's a significant chunk of the feeder that is not easily accessible if something like a brass shim gets stuck or f

DeanM, What make/model of machines are you considering? As is evident by the feedback, your mileage varies greatly depending on who's' machines your using.

A lot of it depends on what machines you are using and how well they implement dual lane feeders. A few general comparisons: Pros: -You can fit more feeders on your machines. -One dual lane feeder is cheaper than two single lane feeders Cons: -two

HI, We currently have two SMT lines, one running leaded products and the other lead-free. There is a recommendation to combine the two to increase the line capacity. What do you think are the pros and cons, is there a risk in contamination ot the

"Pros: -You can fit more feeders on your machines. -One dual lane feeder is cheaper than two single lane feeders" none of these is true for Sony SI-G200 machines we have dual lane feeders are bigger than the standard 8 mm feeders so no space savin

As mentioned above, Mycronic and Europlacer seem to be designed toward high mix so would consider them but would also like to consider a more traditional machine too. Right now I have around 220 feeder slots across two machines inline. Mycronic and E
