Thanks guys.... I have the same issues here. We have just moved our entire plant into another, so everything has to be verified. Would anyone recommend any particular actions be taken to verify or validate equipment setups? SMT, wave and selectiv

The Simmscope doesn't sound like it will catch, for example, an incorrect value resistor or capacitor which is one of the most common setup errors.

I have used Unicam software to create visual workaid documentation along with a setup sheet showing BOM in relation to feeder setups, etc. This was used in 1st piece verification, but also in the early days I had to do a 2 person validation. One and

Adding redundancy and audits to the process is the worst option. Audits are a non-Value added expense. Too many companies that have a problems Just throw more inspection into the process trying to filter out process problems or people deficiencies. F

PCBA is a data driven business, if BOM and CAD are merged correctly and signed off as correct, then correct smt programs can be generated etc - the correct software tools can help drastically here. I think get it right first time is better than spen

KaHrpr is correct. All of the extra 'redundancy' is waste in your process and will work against any goal of being lean. I would suggest establishing a team of individuals to do a C.I. project and conduct a PFMEA and try to determine where any holes

Our standard is: Accept and/or reject decisions must be based on applicable documentation. As an element of this, the marking on the part must identify the part positively. If the marking on the part does not identify the part positively, the ins

For repeated model runs, we go ahead with the SMT run, whilst the QA does the FA inspection. Limit FA timing to 2h or less...(simple boards yield faster time cycles). For new model runs, yep, we wait for QA to confirm the FA inspection, only with QA

Hi SSager, Check out the FA Inspector. It provides 1 Automatic Detection Mode and 2 Manual Inspection Modes. Its used to automate First Article Inspection Tasks and enhance today's principally manual process using microscopes and pen and paper. T

It�s up to you what and how you perform. I was only wondering how your figures match with todays performance efforts and predictions made by the industry. The stress today is obviously on change over times and concepts to minimize this time especiall
