Yeah it seems like a no-brainer. Thanks for the tip on the ESD-safe filament. I knew it had to exist. I've narrowed down a few models that seem perfect for this at a surprisingly low price point. Most of them come with their own designer and instru

The one thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is developing the the control systems for the process equipment and materials. You don't want to mix up your solder paste, bar, and wire, and you don't want to cross-contaminate by using equipment (solderi

Our employees use a knit style ESD glove when masking boards to prevent oils. They snag alot and bend leads and cause other problems. I have tried dipped palm but they are bulky and dont offer "feel". I tried a silky type but they had a huge seam

See, now you know how you got the job!!! ;-) Assuming you mean solder mask, that stuff is designed to be tough to remove. It�s an epoxy meant to protect the board features from the ravages of board fabrication and everyday life. Your choices are:

Hey Mike- We ran into the same thing when we purchased a Large CanadianManufacturers repair business. We were creative and first used an ESD bag cut open (Simulate the paper idea) then we used a 3M parts bin and would tip it on its corner to funnel t

Hi George, bad luck! That�s why we professionals get so much money for it. Those "thingies" are mainly capacitors or resistors. If a capacitor is missing you might with luck not even notice it. A resistor, that�s different, you will notice it, what
