Hmmmm, Chicago in February or southern Cal? If I'm getting on a plane anyway I'll go the extra few hours. The show was actually very good for us. We don't look at overall show attendance we look at number of quality leads (which there were many).

Mydata would be good, Contact Systems would be good for what you are doing, very good software, crappy feeders but fine for 0805 parts. You may be able to get a Universal GSM pretty cheap these days. If you make a decision then look for a machine you

Before you go any further - what do you want to do with this machine? Search the archives for Yamaha Philips cross reference and there is a bit of info there on what they are capable of. Forget about 0402 and they will only do 0603 capacitors with an

I must have missed your booth. Oh, that's right...you didn't have one. Only the "real" scum of the earth equipment brokers were there. I guess you're not quite there yet. What cracks me up is how the parasites that never created a product before

Hi, Yes, the Q axis rotates easily both manually and with the use of the inching keys. What's interesting is that the hesitation occurs even if the Q-axis is pre-rotated before picking up the part so I don't think the Q-axis is actually being calle

Mika: Based on what we hear you saying, we're not so sure we have a problem with the board layout [1:1 between board and interposer pads, non-solder mask defines pads], but with the flawed execution of the layout. If your board fabricator decides to

Hi Dave, Thanks for your input; what I understood the gentleman was describing was a ISO/MIL/ANSI standard that actually plots out a chart (e.g. timeline/frequency of use versus environmental variable parameter, where the variable may be dust, oil,

Well, what I have takes data directly from the Protel 99SE placement file, so in the present form it is a bit specific. This file is simple ASCII text, but the layout of columns will be different on other CAD systems. What I have has a number of sh

There are several alloys had been using in the industry. For SMT: most people use SAC305 For Wave: most of them use SAC305,SC100C,SCS7,and SACX0307. Of course, different alloy composition have its own recommended profile. There is no such rule tellin

cman, Which placement machines do you use? What software do you use to program them? There are several solutions out there such as CAM CAD, Valor, CircuitCAM, whatever Unicam is called these days... I can't keep up with the acquisitions. None
