I did not question the accuracy, which is very good, but only 99.8 % of the time. If I require this accuracy for a certain part to be placed, than I want to have this part on target more often than 3 sigma permits.

Paul, All the machines yulisted are very god at placement. One thing to keep in mind is parts availability. Some of our jobs come from the customer in "kits". Not everyone supplies you with a full real of parts. Be sure that the machine you pick

I�m suddenly getting a very high failure rate in a TO99 component (National LM136AH-2.5). After some investigation we found some of these parts are more than 20 years old. What I am hoping for is that someone out there can help me find some standards

I used to work with Chris. (neither of us are there anymore). What is he talking about is putting components into "pockets". The parts would come in, in sticks (tubes) but we wanted them in reels. At first we sent them out to be reeled, but that w

You have to be careful here. The figure is expressed as placement accuracy, not process quality therefore 3 sigma does not relate to 2700 PPM defects but 2700 parts per million placed outwith 15microns (0.0006" / 0.6thou). Extrapolating the distribu

We are increasingly being asked to store components for longer and longer periods which we know through experience leads to reduction or total loss of solderability of the parts. 1) What is the industry accepted shelf life of tin/lead plated compone

Hi Barry Unable to assist on specifics but I can tell you that some 74 100is machines were built. The majority residing in China Imported in by Wong King Kong Ltd ( Johnson lee Tel 00852 2357 8888 ) Most are at either Flextronics or Roslare. You mi

Hi, I would agree. We purchased a TP9 just the slow machine, but we were a small company at the time, and it worked fantastic. Almost no maintenance, and it's a dream to changeover. The serivce in Australia is also very good, but that does not appl

Splitting hairs, I expect SIR of all solderability protection, including OSP, to decrease after reflow. What�s more, I expect the SIR of all solderability protection to pretty much decrease over time. The �comb pattern� test specimens meet requirem

I would like to enter the discussion by tossing some numbers in. First of all I don�t like the 3 Sigma value. 3 Sigma are 2000 defects per mio. if I remember correctly. This means, if you have 200 components on the board, then every 10 boards have on
