Does anyone else encounter problems using feeders to handle caps that are reeled up with paper tape. We are having alot of problems with vendors that are now using the thicker type (like cardboard) to use to reel up caps. Our feeders either run too

Yes I have. Leaded toys, anti-freeze toothpaste, cardboard biscuits, glue-less tires... the list goes on. And it's only about 1/1000th of what is caught. But in China's defense, why not sell this stuff to the U.S.? They boost their economy and ki

We had one product that used immersion silver plating. There were a couple of instances where we saw tarnishing, and elemental analysis confirmed the presence of sulfur. These boards did have the anti-tarnish sheets between boards, but somehow they

I heard 48" and thought about a 48x48 board. I never thought about it being slender. PVC would be heavy (costing more to ship), there are cardboard tubes that you can get cut that long for cheaper. Sounds like you have your process dialed in.

What is everyone doing with their scraps from the depanel process? Our scraps (rails and any FR4 filling in blank spaces of the panel) don't contain any copper content so none of the local metal/electronics recycling outfits will take it. Are you a

I am about to place a huge PO for ESD boxes. Our assemblies need to be placed horizontally in the stainless racks until wavesoldered, but after the wash they will be placed in the boxes. The boxes have a conductive film but they are still cardboard

I'll jump on this bandwagon too... A crude method was buying a bread rack and widening it to the width of a fixed stencil. Since we get our foils from A-Laser, we get these card board squares. I would tape three of these pieces together to make a som

Yes there is RoHS certified ink it just cost twice as much as the regular ink. Just kidding Some people ask for RoHaaS compliance on cardboard boxes, pencils etc. What a mess $%^$ To answer your question, Ink is made from ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and

We had a similar problem with gold contact pads. Cleanliness is paramount. If you are using foil tensioning system, wash the foil in a stencil wash before use as the cardboard cassettes may be contaminated. Be very careful when loading into a frame f

Sup G! Normally when spray fluxers get neglected, the spray pattern is the first thing affected. To actually 'see' this, we cut out a piece of cardboard the same size and length of the board. Run it over the fluxer and then turn itover and look at
