My company uses both Juki electric and mechanical feeders. Yes, electric feeders are much more efficient than mechanical as far as pick speed and general feed speed. However, if a reel runs out, it usually takes our operators under a minute to change

now days, I face a problem for JUKI electric feeder and machinery feeder. i do not know about any of electric feeder. until now, we all use machinery feeder for CF081ER 7' real holder and 15' real holder,CF03HPR ,FF12FS,FF16FS,AF24FS-OP. but this tim

We allow no silicone in our shop, because they ruin solderability.

Especially VCM - volatile condensable materials. Strictly verboten around optics.

Hose and/or Dave, Please elaborate of how the silicone can affect soldering. Material itself or fumes?

NASA is concerned about outgassing in high-vacuum environments. They select materials to minimize outgassing. http://outgassing.nasa.gov/og_desc.html

We use nothing but silicones and have for at least the last 7 years. We don't have relays, but we do have motors. No issues with soldering, but our lines are constructed such that the last solder operation is a good distance from the coating or pot

Material, fumes, cured or uncured, all are suspect. Silicone gets on an operator's hands, that operator handles components ( even a day or more later ) silicone is transferred to the solder connections = contamination. Process and workcell control

We are developing a new product that requires conformal coating on the motor controller. We selected a silicone based conformal coat due to its ease of use. There has been disagreement among engineers as to its impact on the motor. We have contact

IMHO I would avoid sprayed silicones like the plague. They can travel around your facility and cause solder wetting issues that you will never know the root cause for. Also found this e-drive article on using silicones around motors and relays. Loo
