Does anyone have a better way of holding large reels for the Mycronics machine? The arms are quite expensive so I currently use an ESD bin with a rod in the middle. It's kind of a pain when you need to change a reel. I saw a really cool bin, but the

We have to make several different kits containing 5,7 or 17 resistors (axial leads). These resistors are supplied in ammo boxes or reel. We used to cut the tape by hand with scissors, but we need to cut 10000's of these per week. Has anyone ever seen

Tony SMT, Have you looked into alternative services? I haven't performed a cost analysis lately, but with the equipment costs, tape & reel costs, cover tape handling issues, manual steps involved from someone who doesn't perform the task on a regula

I have been using an Advantek machine for years. It is a manual load and really works good. Rarely do we have problems. When we do its because we got parts from an egineer that dumped a tube of parts out on their desk to get one part and then put the

I have been trying to eliminate the troublesome tubed parts in our SMT process but because we are a high mix/low-medium volume we still have to deal with it sometimes. However, the ones I can fix I'm working on. The next step in my war against tubes

What masking tape can people recommend for masking the board when conformal coating. I am using a PVA autocoat machine and humiseal 1B31. Current tape, is leaving residue on board when used to hold link wires down whilst glue cures and also when used

Sounds like a plan. The usual way is to count how many you use on the job either by pre-calculation. Or how many clicks the machine counts and save the data before switch off, then drop it back into a spread sheet. This depends very much on the mach

Hi we have Juki KE-750L's is there any program to work out how many parts left on the reel, on the machine, the placement program does have a option to keep this number, but once you finish the run and start a new run the figure is lost. Unless I mis
