Dave, What type of wave solder are you using? How are the t-sots oriented relative to the direction of travel? You will get the best results with them oriented with the length of the body parallel to the direction of travel. You want the leads or

I'll respond directly to your question about capacitor fabrication in a later posting, but more importantly and possibly more directly in response to the situation many hands touch your capacitors before you do. Each of these stockroom personnel, UP

We are currently investigating getting a small SMT line in-house...very low quantities. I have been looking at Screen Printers and have also stumbled across Solid Solder Deposit Technology at 2 companies. I'm not sure whether we want to have the So

Hello, I'm doing some research on frameless stencils/stencil frames and I'm looking for people's thoughts on them. I'm looking for any and all thoughts/opinions on how well they work or don't work. Some specific areas of interest: tensioning in one

In answer to your question no. Fiducials should always be as far apart from each other in both directions (X,Y) as possible. This will allow ANY placement machine to calculate the EXACT location and rotation of the PCB, and therefore correct the moun

We considered direct marking already John. It's not very practical for us to do that. We need to put labels on components as well as boards. A laser or inkjet would cause us to have to change too many things in our processes. We'd still need to do la

| Y'all: IPC set-up a site addressing the environmental issues of the printed circuit fabrication industry. Some of it is interesting and applicable to the assembly business as well, even though not aimed directly at assemblers. IPC has recently t
