My company is in the process of determining whether to setup an in-house SMT line. We presently do thru hole assembly and subcontract SMT boards which are growing in number. The economics are not my main concern now. The intangibles, i.e., control, l

We are trying to implement AOI into the mix. One PE wants it Pre-Reflow, to catch and fix the PnP screw ups and the other PE wants it Post-Reflow, because the oven will fix quite a bit of placement offsets and mainly to catch any problems that the R
