One thing our operators do is compare the part marking at the end of the old reel to the part marking at the beginning of the new reel. We also send the operators sheets of paper that tell what component should be at what location and this sheet also

I don't know if it is "Standard Practice" necessarily, but it certainly can be useful. We don't do this regularly, but we do have a few projects with multiple versions where certain parts are only populated on one version but not others. So it help

After I create the pick & place program on the pick and place machine (Assembléon, recently aquired by kulicke and soffa), we generate setup sheets for the operator which lists what component goes into what feeder. Upon loading a tape & reel in the f

charles, i can appreciate the hand held "reel to reel" scanner as a good solution that is very cost effective. during my smt supervision days we had a number of part loading checks. 1. load plan check, 2. scan check, 3. reel to reel manual check.

John: It's easy to put parts in the wrong place!!! Isn't it? Starting at the beginning: check the part at incoming inspection ... measure the value upon receiving the part, if it's possible. Verify the marking on the part. Next: Prevent things f

The best verification system combined with bad operator equals POOR RESULT. I think the real question is how to find a good operator and once you have him/her how to keep them? I am in process of losing one of my best operators(no challenge).

Evtimov, I agree. I'm leaning more towards the quality of worker rather than software, etc. Since this post this incident happened AGAIN! This time there was ZERO verification performed at start up.

I've done it with Panasonic and with Mydata. Very different experiences. It will be very machine dependant as to how easy it is. With the Mydata all you had to do was type edit the part and type in the new name. All the data was filled in with the

On our Mydata machine, we place a piece of scrap bare pcb next to the pcb we are loading. Using double sided tape, we attach the cut tape strip to the bare pcb, then program the machine to pick up the parts from that location. The smallest Mydata m

We have run Mydata machines for 10+ years with no ESD damage from the machine itself that we know of. Can you tell us how you have verified it is the machine causing the ESD damage? It seems to me the ESD damage would be far more likely coming from
