BoardHouse, Thanks for the reply. The board supplier did cover the cost of the bare boards. Five years ago I saw a different part pass ET only to fail at final assembly test as well. One engineer called it "acid trap" on the inner layers where the

Dear all, We haven't been using CPH (chips per hour) as an index of our production capability, but it seems more and more attractive as a basis by which we can compare the capability of different plants producing different products. Are there any o

Mark, If you find out anything please let me know. The only way we do it is by hand using a slotted spoon and dumping the lead and dross into a 3 gallon bucket and having it taken off site and recycled. It's a pain in the neck, and I don't like we

That would be the elusive typo, check your keyboard, the "A" is right next to the "S". I believe she meant "SMT" boards. Wazzup Dave, your grey matter already shifted into weekend mode? Hoist a pint of Sierra Nevada, if you get that spill in your ne

Good for you smtspecialist and your clean oven. It's always better to be too picky, cause once the goo starts dripping, they'll only blame it on your paste. Mistress? No, gotta keep gender out of the work place. How about "Connoisseur Chunks"? S

I was wondering about a bottle neck at the oven too, but apparently you don't have that problem. Are the boards small enough that you can put more on a panel? Other than that, it does sound like you need another printer feeding your placement machin

Steve: Several points: * I don't have any real problems with the paper that you referenced. The hair on the back of my neck did rise a bit when the paper touched-on the higher level of process control required for ENIG. * JAX makes a good point.

If you have the individual times for each machine you should be done. Simply find which is your bottle-neck for each day and use that info. You can probably write a seperate program to do this step also, I assume you are viewing all the down time inf
