Thanks for all the responses. I do agree with what was said, and can certainly see reasons not to try. I'll write a little more about what we do. We are a defense contractor, and as I mentioned very high mix, low volume. We only have 1 SMT line.

| Does anyone know of an AOI system that can look at the solder joints of SMT chip devices (1206,0805 & 0603) and make a reliable presence/abscence call of the joint on a HASL PCB. A low false call rate (much less than 1%)is required. Any info. fro

Look into OMRON AOI machines. We have several and use them post-reflow and post-wave. Rick

I agree with previous postings regarding print speed: Solder paste type/versus fine pitch. Question: Is this a double sided pcb with fairly easy component packages on both sides? In such case, consider make the panel like this: Every second pcb in

We use an AOI machine to check the first-off. This will pick up such errors, and if the line is stopped until the AOI operator has approved it, the problem is solved, although it would require one fix.

tip: Just ask around who in China uses these Neoden p&p All small assemblers use second hand Japanese brand machines: mostly Yamaha, Panasonic and Fuji. The big companies only buy new machines. Neoden are special niche toys made for the western no

I am looking for process suggestions. We want to use a pin transfer system to deposit adhesive to hold bottom side SMD's in place. We will place SMD's and through hole power parts on the top side and then run through a wave solder machine. Are ther

I can't help you much there, but I do have a couple of manuals for a TDK RX-40!! Ha! That machine brings back memories....operator forgets to lock a feeder down, and in about thirty seconds, you have 140 nozzles with the tips ripped off. Ahhh...those
