Please accept my apologies for being offtopic. I have tried posting on the career center, and our job even appeared at the top of the most recent smtnet email newsletter. Still, we received essentially zero response. I'm hoping maybe a post here mi

Patrick... Contact LENGTH as in inches, mm, or cm...not time..is decreased with a slower belt speed. The slower the speed, the less contact LENGTH with the wave per unit time ...whereas at a faster speed, your leads are contacting more solder, th

I've been using E-teknet for the last couple years, for a wide range of boards from 2 to 6 layers, and one of the 6-layer boards has an insane density and a zillion close-packed vias. Sam at E-teknet guided me through tuning the board design to opti

I have alot of experience creating assembly drawings for SMT and THT products. However, we are now doing very large ,complicated box builds that have many terminal blocks, point to point and cable harnesses. It is my job to create these assembly doc

I am trying to optimize my reflow profile. i have a 5 zone oven. lead-free: for the 1st 3 zones, i am good, at about 150-200 deg for 150 seconds. during the 4th zone, i am at a temp of 200-220 for 50 seconds. during the 5th zone, i am at 220-245 f

that's a pretty cool idea, I like some thinking 'outside the box '! 1. I don't think picking it up and placing it will be much of a problem. once the rivet is placed it will be held in place by the paste. However, you would need to make a tray that

I am seeing poor quality solder joints, mostly on 0402 components. The problem is that while the pad on the pcb is getting fully wetted, the solder is not flowing up the sides of the 0402 component, i.e. the 0402 lead is somewhat de-wetting. The re

Hello all Our Omni 5 has given the 'Cooling module high temp' warning twice during the past month. I suspect that the blower motor is the culprit but have not been able to verify this because the oven has started up normally after acknowledging the

Hello Reese, I had an opportunity to look at the Yestech B3, Mirtec MV-3 and the Landrex Optima. Although I was looking at Desktop AOI Systems, Landrex was very persistent in getting an in line system in front of me at the time. The first machine I

Thank you all for the great responses. We to looked at tne Mirtec before settling on the YesTech. I felt the machine software was better structured and organized and the system caught more faults on our "broken" board than the other system did (We
