Hi Patrick, I see what you're all are saying, and can understand how you come to that conclusion, however I would disagree with the protectionism arguement. Most of the electronics assemblies in Europe come in from China, Taiwan, Malaysia etc, (T

Good Morning, We have several Mirtec table top machines. We bought the first one when it was under the Samsung name. We had the advantage of doing a side by side comparison with several other systems. The Mirtec was the leader in performance. Since

We started looking at tabletop AOI systems last year, one of the main criteria, as we are a SC was that the sales engineer programmed one of our boards in front of us so we could see just how easy to program it was, also high on the list was performa

Hi, Oh, never noticed this old comment, but now the threads been revived i can comment. I have actually owned three MYDATA machines over the duration of the last 6 years, and they all had accuracy problems. It depends on what your doing, but we got

If you visually inspect the solder joints of the first dozen or so boards with the Pb free parts and you're meeting workmanship standards then I wouldn't worry about it. When we started getting the first barrage of Pb free parts a couple years ago w

In the true sense of the term, tombstoning can only occur during reflow. Now, if your solder joints are cracking during thermal cycling and opening on one end you still have a problem - it just isn't "tombstoning". What laminate are you using on yo

All good advise, guys. I somewhat blame myself, that I didn�t inspect the machine. On the other hand, who knows, what machine I would have seen. Here are some e-mail responses, indicating, that this is not the type of business I�m capable of doing my

Sorry this is such a long thread but I would like as much input as possible to everything I ramble on about... :) ------------------------------------------------------ We are now seeing more and more RoHS parts showing up in our SMT inventory and

Are you refering to reflow soldering or wave soldering? Brian, do you have any data to support that SAC305 is more reliable than Tin-Copper-Nickel? NEMI reccomended SAC type alloys for reflow and Tin-Copper for wave. See: http://circuitsassembly.

Just have everyone where a smock. Seems to do little for ESD but everyone buys into it. Finger cots will add more flare as well. Wet concrete works the best for flooring, but seems to have a tendency to dry, thus losing it conductivity. Therefore
