Sam, I can tell you right now that if you have a low volume hi mix application where the program/job is changing every day, an AXI system is not going to be a good fit. As you alluded to, the programming time is onerous, the fine tuning or tweaking i

Hi mate, "no more than 6hrs in the stencil" for us means: 1) we finish setup of reflow oven, P&P m/c, and lastly the printing machine(includes loading of stencil into printer machine). 2) once printer machine is setup, we rip-open the paste Can pr

Is it safe to use the 100M ohm value found in Table 2 of J-STD-004 as a minimum for SIR with respect to flux specification acceptability? It (J4) appears to imply that that value provides some level of acceptability, but it just doesn't come right o

We're considering stenciling SMT adhesive to increase throughput. This is an as-of-yet unproven process and for that matter pcb design (we've never done anything with more than about 50 SMT parts on the bottom, this board has in excess of 1200, but

No, no. It's koscher to have thermal planes. You just need to: * Work with your fabricator to keep the layup balanced. * Relieve the plane so that it doesn't cause assembly problems. While probably not directly for your part, it gives a starting p

Hi Jaya, Here's a definition, towards the bottom of the listing... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducial Mainly, a 'global' fiducial refers to the outside of the board, usually on the scrap rails. This allows the machine to locate two reference

Hi, I off center idea we used when we started. Get a pasta cooker, and put in vapor phase fluid, and then use that. Place the product in the bottom of the inner pot, and then heat on a small hot plate. When the vapor cloud gets high enough and the

Grant has a good idea, we started that way also. We made a tank out of stainless steel with copper tube coils about 18" off the bottom. Circulate cold water through the tubes to condense the vapor to keep the loss down. We used electric burners under
