Dear People, Can anyone point me in the right direction. I am involved in manufacturing low volume (batches of 4-20) pcb's. I have been investigating Process Characterisation ref EIA/JEDEC PUBLICATION 132. For such a low volume scenario, has anyo

I have a tendency to agree with CK Experience and accomplishments in wave soldering are more valuable then the degree. Remember wave soldering is not taught in school although it is a vital process in the electronics assembly. The quality and relia

Machine efficiency is a big one. Placement and auto-insertion machines should have the production rate for a given product recorded in the Routing, Time Standard or Work Instruction. If a given board has a tact time of say 1 minute and you ran 1,000

I think you need to define what it is you are looking for. Changeover time, Efficiency and measuring run time to your quaoted time are important, as is quality. You need to look at all of these things to determine the "health". It does you no good

I recently had the same problems, solder bridges on every thing I made, different customers boards, etc. I wave with no-clean flux. As I sorted out problems (pin holes, blow holes, splatter, etc.) I found a lot of variable factors. I changed flux,

Hi Jason, Zero defect is the only acceptable quality!! U need to ask yourself how capable is your process and how well is you quality system set up. No point in setting goals unatainable or beeing forced upon by management if the root problems of th

Hi mates, finally! some sense to all this, so this bloke is concerned about "ppm = quality" variations... looking back through all the muck in this thread, last posting before the s**t hit the ceiling was: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Date: June

Several things for your reference: 1. Starting with data collection: - Have you done a measle chart to illustrate the pattern of the defect? - Have you checked the corelation between shift/time and defects rate? - How about a pareto chart? - Do

Siemens is an excellent platform. To reduce your scrap:- Carry out the specified maintenance, especially the segments and valve plungers; Calibrate revolver heads to benchmark. Remove the tables, smooth the magnetic strips, clean the mounting faces,

I have been using overall combined DPMO of SMT PCBAs as a performance metric. All defects are recorded down to component location and defect category. The resultant defect data table is analyzed with detailed pivot tables, defect type and defect loca
