Thanks Fastek. I've been to China but didn't have time to count all the machines. Gotta run now. My $5.00 cell phone is ringing.

Most PCB manufacturers should be able to fall between 1.25um-5.00um for Pb-Free HASL. I doubt you will get anyone to agree to anything higher. If you are going to require an average thickness, make sure you also state "No Copper exposure allowed".

We don't use Mylar for aligning the Printer to the PCB for printing paste because that is relatively easy to see if it is aligned, or else we use a pocket microscope; however, we use the Mylar for setting up the Glue portion of our printing process b

I once had a similar problem on a VIP98. The problem was with the FCU (furnace control unit). There was a burned IC on the lower left of the card. I don't remember what kind of part it was, only that it was very common and I got a new one from Dig

We're attempting to seriously address this problem now. For us it is not the cost of the lost components as much as the loss of SMT efficiency holding a job waiting for a $5.00 reel of components and the cost of $20.00 to overnight ship. Our IT gro

This from a person named "just my thoughts"? As far as "cheaper in the long run" , that can be debatable. Especially at $160 dollars per hour for a FSE. Double rate for weekends. Air fare, hotel, car and per-diem....it adds up fast! Also, he may

Stephen, Correct when focusing just on contact length and time only contact time should change when changing the conveyer speed (when the machine is in good operating condition). Changing the conveyer speed changes a lot more parameters like: *Flu
