An idea I just heard today would be to run a strip of copper tape across each shelf, then screw the tape into the shelf to ensure metal to metal contact. Considering the shelves seem to all have a path to ground through the supports, I don't see why

Personally, I'd run 1 time recovery, and depending on chip-shooter model, I'd use 2nd station parts detection on larger parts with error stop. The situation you decribe, a couple caps an hour would'nt stop the machine unless they came from the same f

As the traqnsistion to Pb free manufacturing gains speed and exposure the period between true Pb free solutions and the present is still somewhat distant. Are there any publications or documentation on the use of Pb free components and non-Pb free

How can one go about defining the complexity of a PCB for characterizing reflow profiles A large balanced board may be easier to profile than smaller unbalanced board ? Any ideas how to define an index to calculate the complexity based on size,weig

Take a look at the product here: http://www.kicthermal.com/products/KIC-Auto-Focus.pdf KIC uses a previously profiled product library to calculate in spec reflow profiles for new products. Just enter you dimensions and if finds a solution for you.
