We do in fact see a reduction in soldering defects, most especially wetting issues for both parts and PWBs, tombstones, billboards, etc... As a CM we see all kinds of customer furnished material, some of it not in the greatest condition. Our best p

Hi Jake, A few questions: Is your CS-740 JIT bin dual picker or single picker? If it is a single picker then the answer may be as simple as getting a dual picker. Next question...what is your bin usage? Can you double up some of the more common part
