Hello, I am new in this forum and also new in PCB manufacturing. now we have issued about silver open and short. we can detect this defect after auto check process and its to late to save our PCB. Is there any way to detect silver open or insufficien

Yes, we have an old Universal axial and they still offer independent machines for axial, radial and DIP components, but I do not have the floor space for that. Some offer "odd form" insertion machines (Juki, Hanwha, Cenncorp)which is the direction I

I would be happy to add programing of the CS400 to my program PCBSynergy gregp. I have added about 80 SMT machine formats to the program to date. All built by reverse engineering. You only need to send me some example formats or better still your ori

Hi Spoilt...thanks for your reply. The latter part of your reply is a bit perplexing though. The CS-400E is easy to set up. There are two lights spots that indicate the insertion location. The component does not need to be prepped other than bent

We process an average of 300 units per batch with spikes to 750, we can sustain about two to three people populating to maintain good quality/throughput. Part placement is broken up equally to reduce operator stress(usually a limit of 5 different pa

I have been tasked with finding the equipment necessary to fully automate our TH assembly. Currently about 98% is performed manually on stuff lines with the other 2% using a 30 year old axial inserter. I am asking if anyone else has gone down this pa

On average there are about 3 parts per board that get hand placed (x24 is 72 parts per panel). One of these parts is a big 1W resistor that cannot fit on our axial machine. We also have a Zener Diode that needs to be hand placed because its leads are

gregp: Our PTH process has not changed in many years. Our products are fairly simple as far as electronics goes and everything gets potted anyways. ~90% of everything we build is single sided TH with ~ 100 solder joints per board. Each board is ~

UIC still manufacturers new thru-hole machines. Both axial and radial insertion models are available. They stopped making the multi-mod dip inserters in '91 or '92. And parts are easily acquired for any older models, there were a ton of machines out

Most of our product are mixed technology. I don't consider thru-hole components as "pesky." Perhaps from a manufacturing point of view they are due to the extra handling and machine requirements. But from a reliability stand-point, thru-hole is mu
