To me the most challenge would be the printing step. If you can print it, you should able to run it with SMT. We ran similar thickness flex boards before. But it's long flex with small stiffener at both ends, and it was 10up array. You need fixture

A good set of fixtures are what you need to get it done right. Since we are in the same area, I would recommend give ATD (Advance Tooling Design)a try, they located in San Jose. We been using fixtures from them for years. We build thousands of Fle

Are you sure you mean pick and place files? Or does the manufacturer need centroid data to make their own pick and place files? Or they might even be able to use ascii CAD data to generate pick and place files. Look for an export function. Probably

Hi, I work for a Cable and Harness contract manufacturer. I have started offering soldering classes to some of the employees but because we do not build circuit boards, I don't have any material for them to practice with. I was able to get a few ba

Thanks for your information. But the info you provided, we already found out more or less about it. The newer cleaning systems are nothing like the one I am seeking the replacement parts for. I don't think Kolb would able to provide much help for s

Anybody is familiar with ePM-SPI software? All the ones who trained are left the company, and there is no notes nor manual left behind which I can look up to learn it. Are there manual available for sharing or useful training material for the ePM-S

We have one, but seem like we hardly use it that much though. I would say it's useful, but not exactly must to have. Most of the models out there would not come with the marking vision system, but you can add it as option. The tricky part of using

First, you cannot measure capacitors once they are soldered onto the board. Second, why must you measure? Verify your machine set up by using intelligent feeders (if your machine has them) or a checklist, preferably by two people. If you cannot trus

It doesn't matter if the traces have solder or not. We're talking thermal cycles. RE IAg thickness: I believe the IAg is a self limiting process, similar to IAu. Your fab may be able to help a little, but I don't expect a substantial change. And if

Call Heller directly, and give them the oven, and relative thermal density of the board, as well as the solder paste that you're using. They'll be able to give you a baseline profile to start from (both RTS and RSS). Otherwise, use a thermocouple p
