You'd be surprised what you can overcome with some smarts, some mechanical aptitude, and daily medication.

Hi all All you wave soldering people, have you had any trouble in keeping the copper level of your SAC solder pots under control? How do you combat the gradual rise of copper contents owing to dissolution from through-hole component leads etc.?

I've cut component patterns out of old stencils. Not as good as buying a new mini stencil but still it worked. I guess you can't buy those pre-pasted boards? I've never tried them but they look interesting.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a user- CAD-friendly, cost effective, software for production personnel to use to pull up component information (ie part no, silk designator, shape, feeder no, etc). Thanks...

No but the owner of the last company I worked for used to think prying PLCCs off the board with a screwdriver (using an R0805 as a fulcrum and crushing it in the process) was a valid test. "Feels pretty weak...our intermittent failure must be a pro

I thought that it was a worse case scenario. This is when you first get failure but most components will withstand greater temps. What are these temps? Who knows.

Steve, I believe Contact Systems is the only company that uses local fids in this way. All othe machine have coordinates for the local fids. When measuring the fids it applies any error from the fid measurement to the 1 component it's linked to.
