Has anyone else been experiencing this lately? We have had a rash of boards that come in properly vacuum sealed. We store them in the hot room until we are ready to build, and we get bubbles under the solder mask. We've had 4 different jobs, all di

After I create the pick & place program on the pick and place machine (Assembléon, recently aquired by kulicke and soffa), we generate setup sheets for the operator which lists what component goes into what feeder. Upon loading a tape & reel in the f
