If 15 to 18 chips per hour is fine, I would put them down by hand. If your useage goes up dramatically, I would look at the top end machines. The prices from the big guys have come way down and its not worth buying a mid market machine anymore.

It sounds as though you are looking for a single machine that can do the entire component range. The C5 series from Contact Systems competes directly with the machines you mention. The Mydata machine will do 6-8K CPH real world with the hydra head

We are fighting with the Purchase department not to buy stick feeders and you want to do the oposite. Wow. It takes for us less time to setup one feeder than 3 sticks. Furthermore you have to continually replenish the parts in the stick. On top of th

I have to do 15 job changes a day! A typical batch is one or two panels. I fully agree with your comments about reduced opportunity for error and we have to work hard to keep these to a minimum. However if I put all my ICs onto reel I will need anoth

When we first started we had this problem, we eliminated by longer profile (less delta T) and then ultimately chnaged pad dimensioning for 0402 away from IPC standard. i would highly recommend that you check your placement accuracy and your prof

Hey guys, Anybody having trouble with increased false contact issues in ICT after switching from lead to lead free? Our test guys keep trying to imply that the flux residues are a problem (we're using Alpha EF2202), but as the soldering process eng

in all actuality, you are both right. Alpha metals does have the toughest/hardest noclean residue that I have seen. When changing to no-clean FLUX you should run different probes. So back to square one. You're both right so who's gonna win?

Thanks for the reply. We have carefully inspected the part and solder joint after depaneling and all looks good. What is weird is if you remove the part from the board and check continuity with a meter you have a dead short. If you put on a new part

Hi Steve I had that problem before and what caused this it was the vibration of the depaneling process, without hitting any component, if the capacitor is too close to the depaneling edge chances are you are facing the same problem I had. The way how
