I agree with Dave on the processing issues, but there are others: Print speed capability (do you get good deposits at various print speeds), humidity exposure (our plant did get to the high side so moisture absorption on the board/stencil was an issu

Hello Bill A colleague here at ACW just told me about your question and as we have a few of these machines I feel that I'm in a position to answer you. Prior to 2007 we only used DEK265 (GS & GSX) machines and these we getting a bit old and passed

I am using different equipements for SPI such as Koh Young and Cyber Optics machines. I am looking for implementing a general procedure (SWP) for setting LSL's and USL's on the products on which the customer does not specify any limits on the solder

After selecting a few ovens based on the mfr's specifications, I plan to send them a thermal "slug" to run in their ovens (a 1/4" thick, high temp fiberglass slab with imbedded thermocouples). Since we are replacing ovens with fixed speed blowers wit

If you're getting quoted .045 seconds per chip, or .9 seconds per IC, one of two things is happening. The most likely is the supplier has two machines in the line, one placing small parts quickly, and one placing large parts slowly. The part will run

there is an IPC standard for machine accuracy and repeatability. Here it is how it works. You have to place certain number of parts on a specially designed PCB(that allows placing variety of parts on big part of the machine work area). After that you

In my past life, I worked at a CM that used Mirae "Meridian" machines Universal Instruments "Genesis" machines. The universal instruments machines were much, much faster. What sort of head configuration did your Advantis machines have? The 30 spindl

I have an old Zevatech 740 machine that, until recently, was running well. In the last few weeks, the RH head has started giving me issues. When it picks up a component (and early on in most of my programs it will be picking up chip resistors or ca

Visit the machines, get your quotes. Establish what you need, make sure you understand the running costs of each, the availability of service personnel & parts - see who wins. The answer won't be the same for everyone. Also see which software you lik
