A lot of component vendors already shifted to Pb-free products but our process is still using 63Sn/37Pb solder paste and SMDs. What would be the result if we introduce some Pb-free components to our current process (i.e without changing the reflow p

Aegis' product CircuitCAM does perform this function. They have partnerships with most machine manufacturers allowing them to create programs for just about any SMT, Thru-hole, AOI and other equipment. If you call them they'll do a demo on-line wit

Make sure that the image of the component in matches the way the actual part is on the feeder. To do this just go to your feeder status on the production screen, then click on the feeder that you want, in this case the one that has the sot-63 and now

Thanks. That's a good Idea. But question. Can a cleaning equipment (aqeous cleaner design for low standoff height parts) be able to clean my PCB given that the PCB sat in our production floor for 1 week prior to cleaning? Will the flux stick hard ont

I'm looking for a system that will manage all the un-formal "know-how" of the differant processes (smt, prep., insertion, wave, mec.assy., etc., etc.) alog production/assembly line. Can some one direct me to such a system? Send some references? Any
