I actually removed his other post that was to a four year old thread. Complaints about a company are fine, and in fact we encourage the debates (in a timely manner). However, having an axe to grind...on a four year old thread, will get removed.

DEK ELA and MPM U2000 Hi-E Comparison

Electronics Forum | Thu Jul 25 19:18:42 EDT 2002 | lysik

I really would not compare the 2 systems. A ELA is more like MPM's UP-1500. The UP-2000 is more like the DEK Horizon or Infinity. You just opened up one of the great debates of the SMT world. MPM or DEK? You will have people on both sides defend the

Hi, The percentage of lead (0.1% or otherwise) is still being debated in the EU where the legislation is in place. The industry is pushing for a 0.2% limit,(if lead-free has to be) as it is considered a limit where solder can be recycled economical

do you intend to use Immersion tin as a PCB surface finish ? Then Whisker concern is as below if you do not past your test pads, the pads will be stressed when probed on a ICT or a flying probe tester. This is a POTENTIAL for whiskers There is a lo

Electronics Forum | Fri Jun 23 09:02:17 EDT 2006 | paulinct

Glad to hear it is running good for you. I have my new wave solder machine in house.(hooking it up next week). I am debating between Sn100 and Cobalt 995 (metallic resources). Does anybody have an experience with the Cobalt. Or a reason not to go wit

Pretty much everybody does functional or system test at the end of a printed board assembly line. In-circuit or MDA test hits most complex boards. But, 3D xray is being pushed by Agilent, Teradyne, and TRI. No fixtures and a high call rate for sol
