Well Keith, I certainly overestimated this community's desire to voice its feelings about the recent departures and the general state of SMTnet over the last several weeks. I suppose it is for the best that we just get on with it. Like most busy pr

Hi Chris. Can't specifically address optos, but I have spec'd RH requirements and Temp requirements for new facilities I helped design for manufacturing here in FL (humidity center of the universe). For an overall benefit, I considered the potential

This is our first time out processing material with a finished thickness less than the standard 0.062 FR-4 material. We have an assembly that uses GIL MC5 with a finished thickness of 0.035 and we are having difficulty at placment with the array "bo

SMTneters, I'm conducting a workshop titled "Circuit board repair on the Internet" at our California facility on November 10. Similar to a recent posting, I'm seeking suggestions for online resources to discuss with the attendees. In addition to

How about some of the more rigid materials like the commercial fixture manufacturers use to machine solder/assembly fixtures from? Glastic, an anti-static version of Delmat and proprietary materials from MB manufacturing come to mind. Search the arc

Hello there: Currently we are building our own facility for producing electronic assemblies. I had a long discussion with my colleagues concerning the ESD mats surrounding the sensitive components areas such as the pick & place machine

The Brady PAM 5000 may work for you as well. I think they have a web site. This machine is smema compatible. It's automatically places barcode labels onto pcb's within an 18"x22" area with .020" accuracy. The labels can be placed at 0 or 90 deg onto

Bill, Thanks for the input. I took a brief look at the Brady machine on their website. I think their latest is the PAM 6000. It didn't appear it could keep up. My most difficult application is to put 42 labels on a 21-up board in under 1 min 20 sec.

The CCGA package is difficult to handle and automate in the assembly process. The leads can be fragile, and vision recognition of the package and leads is difficult. Special lighting and/or a special vision algorithm will probably be needed if you wa
