I need your help. I have been battleing tombstoned 0603 resistors for many months now. I have been working on the profile, the placement accuracy of the chipshooter, and the print accuracy. I am writing in the hopes that someone out there has some

First, I agree with Wolfgang, in response to Wister. Second, Wolfgang: Sometimes, our blanket purchase order for paste schedules delivery of the paste in advance of production requirements. (What!!!???? In-bound material schedules don't match out-

Thanks LD! I'll Take that to the shop. I've been burnt by "violet" one to many times. Not to say that any of us are willing to use violet in a descriptive sence. I can't believe she is still out there. "Big Venture" much better! Did you get that off
