Laser Marking stations generally accept the product, clamp it in place, then through a motion platform move the product underneath the laser head. Marking is generally conducted with a CO2 laser ranging between 20 to 30 watts. You will loose 20% thro

Hi All, I've been told that 3D AOI machines are a solution to the false calls that you get on a 2D machine, but I don't really see how the depth information can help in eliminating false calls for unreadable markings, misregistered parts etc. For s

Hello Michael, Laser marking and ink jet marking are now offered by a wide array of suppliers. The was a bit of a boom at APEX last year in the number of suppliers for these systems. Many have tried label placing but have run into a number of conc

I need to replace a device which is in a 6-pin package which looks like SOT 23-6 / SC-74 style. The markings are D102/ 214B (D102 above 214B). I have checked numerous references to no avail. I think that the device is a comparator or op-amp with V

I can't comment on the quality of any vendors equipment, but your question is really a "process approach" issue. What do you expect to find with that 3rd dimensional measurement? 2D inspection should detect the majority of your printing errors.

Mark: I'd say Woodgate has as structured zero defects soldering program as anyone. That's great that someone is funding your start-up. I'd suggest that you get (or find someone who is technically competent and) comportable with selling. My2� Dav

A number of years ago in a previous life, we discussed laser marking 2-d matrix codes. We had a number of boards for customers that just were too populated to get any sort of a label onto. 2-D laser units were avaialable to work in line with our au

I am in need in identifing these 2 components. I am new in the SMD world so bear with me. These are in a SOT-23 package. Need to idendify. 1\ C5D 2\ R2T 3\ R2X Thanks, Regards, Dan

Brad We agree with Rob. Even if the fab marks the fids [on both sides] to reduce component attrition, you'd be surprised in the amount of paste that 'disappears' on x-out boards. Do the numbers [follow the money].

2D codes take up much less real estate so that might work. Something else we did was to go to CO2 lasers and mark directly into the solder mask. Underlying copper gave adequate contrast to the green mask. Much more of an investment, but works grea
