Depends on what sort of outfit you are working for, and what you are building. A lot of CEMs are doing Flying Probe or ICT on the boards ahead of investing time building into units or adding parts that prevent access to rework. We have a combination

I need your input. What are your thoughts? Currently SMTnet is looking to improve process. It uses four different lists of categories that all are maintained and updated separately. A single LIST makes sense. Approaches to arranging the LIST being

I'm wrestling with the infamous adjustable torque drivers on the production floor. Despite a procedure that clearly forbids it, we still have the occasional know-it-all that will just crank the knob until the desired setting is visible in the windo

It's nice to be able to do things in house, and it's good to have somewhere without commercial pressures to learn and make mistakes, so I can understand where you are trying to go. Those machines look a little lightweight for consistent quality pr

I'm with Steve. Check the datasheet, and make sure that the terminations are meant for solder application, and not conductive epoxy. I had that happen a year or so ago with an MLCC. Drove us nuts for two days (not to mention the significant rework

Hi all, I'm thinking of adding a high-end rework station to my lab. Budget-wise I can basically afford all the solutions from Finetech, Pace, Ersa, and others. However, I'm not sure which one to go with. I'm considering Finetech Core-plus and Pace

Hi Hearse, I currently use a MY600, with a AG Ejector which can place dots between 0.33 and 0.52 mm. The differences for a MY600 with placing small dots is down to ejector and paste. To be able to place dots as small as 0.25 mm, you would need an

The best way to measure is by money made(quality product and minimal rework). I worked for a company that asked me to achieve building 100 boards/week for an assembly. A year later they were unhappy that we don't hit 150 boards/day of the same board
