Gerber standard has been around for long time as a fabrication data model for PCB makers, but not very useful for assemblers as no centroid data is actually present in the data. Also netlists are no supported and have to be calcualated with software

I set up some lead-free profiles on a new Heller1700xxx (Compact series), do not know if this is same model you refer to. Can be done, yes speed is a little slower than longer Heller Versions due to zones being so narrow, but doable. Of course all de

I agree with dlm. We have been using Hakko irons for our lesd free soldering for about 6 months now. They work great and the tips are relatively inexpensive - $9 to $15, plus they last a very long time compared to our previous brand that we used. The

Hi LoCostPP, Sounds to me you are moving towards an Open Source development model. What you might want to do is come up with a robust framework (hardware & software) to which anyone who wishes to take part can develop (and market) their own plugins

What's the word on the street on the New Generation Samsung Machines? (SM421 and SM411) I know they got a bad rap a few (5) years ago, but it seems like they're doing everything they can to quell that. (Bumper to Bumper three year warranties includi

We are curently using a SMTech AVP 300, which is an in-line semi-automatic printer. Within the next 6-12 months we will be looking to upgrade to a fully automatic printer. I have already had a little look to see what is out there, and I am shocked a

Hi, Ok, and thanks for the heads up on that, and I will contact them and see what model that is. I liked one of their manual printers, as it looks like the board slides back on linear bearings and then lifts up under the stencil, instead of the usua

We ran into this problem before, on all of our models. We never quite found out the reason, we do know that if the PCB is passed through a reflow oven that is extremely dirty with evaporated solder paste flux, it will make it extremely difficult (or
