Seems we both have something in common. My company used to issue each person a toolbox with solder pumps, cutters, pliers and the good stuff. But we can never keep them in the boxes. They tend to walk away after a few uses. There's nothing you can do

I ran into this about 2 years ago. The Rework Operators (all 3 shifts) would rework a device, rince the board with tap water (yep, 50k / Cm^3) from a nearby sink, then send the PCB to test (which is really ironic as they had to walk past the DI wash

We are using a UP2000 so I'm not positive on this but.... The squeegee stroke will have to be taught by and the software will walk you through setting the stroke. What do you mean by "where it drops the pins to load/unload/locate"? If you follow th

Cleaning no-clean is the pitts. If cleaning required migrate to water soluble. Can IPC help here? No cleans only need to be removed per IPC if the joint inspection is inhibited...and in general if form-fit-funciton is not achievable. But then th

Dave, The parking is difficult but don't believe the reviewer about the getting a table business. I just walk in and my waiter; Luigi the Unbelievable, goes to my regular table and says, "You! Jackman, Gibson anda McPherson - piss off! Mr Jarvis and

Thanks Dave... To all that took offence I do apologise, its a fine line that i'm walking here. Accelerated life testing is an integral part of todays development and manufacturing environment. I've spent 3 years living with 50% of my time in a desi

Hi Steve, I agree with Darby on this your poor operator will be walking a mile a day!!! but if you absolutely want them on the back try this .... in your components listing set the feeder position for all your vib components to a number between 100

I looked at the Kiss104 and the SPA-400 at the SMTA show in Orlando. I spent an hour with the ACE rep, and walked away totally confused as to how the machine is programmed. I spent 10 minutes with the rep from APS Novastar, and using their Photoscan
