A cheap piston compressor (like you might use in a garage) should be rated such that it has ~50% duty cycle, you don't want it running continuously. They are very affordable but do switch on and off between two essentially hardwired setpoints. The b

You are looking for a complete SMT assembly line plus possible X-Ray inspection and rework equipment. The 3 components of the SMT line are stencil printer, pick-n-place machine and reflow oven. How small are your components? 0603? 0402? What is the

HI, We currently have two SMT lines, one running leaded products and the other lead-free. There is a recommendation to combine the two to increase the line capacity. What do you think are the pros and cons, is there a risk in contamination ot the

We run lead free and leaded on all of our lines. When lead free first came out we went to the extremes to make sure not one atom of lead would get into the process. I remember we were told that the world would end if leaded products were within a hal

You can bet it was a conspiracy. Customers don't usually chew the PC boards inside their TVs,coffee machines or other electronic equipment. And if Lead is so dangerous why do we still run it and we still have to talk about problems about Lead. An
