Craig: Waving TSOP should be your last choice. You should resist will high levels of red faced, neck vein bulging seriousness. After you loose: * Philips pads are a good starting point. * Recognize you'll probably have to lay-out the pads on the b

Sam, Cyber Optics inline paste measurement machine is probably the easiest to program, maintain, and operate but it does have some drawbacks in my opinion. It is slower than some other machines on the market. This might not be a problem unless

| I'm very new to the SMT process but I'm tasked to qualify a MPM Printer and a Panasert PnP m/c. The product consists of 6-10 different parts of a total of around 70. Please advice on the parameters for each m/c which I should focus on for optmizati

We on SMTnet have danced around this component package, but there is not a "background" of knowledge in the fine SMTnet Archives. We in our company use this component package, but have not seen the problems you discuss. [We see other problems.] Th

First of all are you looking for a inline or a table top unit. We paid 50k for a Testronics unit and it does ok but I feel like others and that is if you have the inspection & controls in place you should be able to build quality boards by controlli

Rob: After SAB purchased Pilsner Urquell, they changed from using hops to a extract of hops in their process. They changed the foil on the neck of the bottle from silver to gold at the same time. The result was PU went from THE UNDISPUTED BEST bee

Great, just what we need - Psuedo science. To paraphrase: We tried 99.5Sn/0.5Cu & it didn't work so we couldn't be bothered to try any other lead free alloy. So give us an exemption else we'll bury you up to the neck in the stuff. I have no probl

Your concern should be do you have a glue process that can keep up with the FCP6. We ran a GL541 in line with a CP643 which the glue machine was actually a bottle neck because if you run SOIC's which require more glue dots then it will slowdown the

Hi Michelle, Due to the dense population of through hole on some boards, after a 35 minute wash, some connectors or battery holders remain wet. Currently we put them into drying ovens at 70c for a Minimum of a half hour. We do occasionally air dry un

In a past life I ran F1 systems post placement / pre reflow behind a MyData My12E, so it didn't exactly have to keep up with a speedy chip shooter, but it did pretty well. The AOI would end up being the bottle neck some of the time, but not because
