I hope I don't get negative reaction again but I can't let this one go. The Contact Systems machine (C5) has level 4 traceability. There is no standard that defines traceability but Aegis Software Corporation defines four distinct levels of traceab

Don't think much of the people who run the line do you mate? "BUT is operator dependent, so if he feels lucky just change the reel without verification and machine will not stop if he didn't follow the procedure having a high probability of Wrong co

Pete, Top-side temp might be an issue. What's the easiest way to check it? I seem to recall some thermal decals that we used to use a couple of jobs ago. I spoke with the flex manufacturer, and they recommended 4 hours at 250 degrees pre-process

Seems like every week there is a new thread where someone is asking which AOI to purchase. I hope you realize that AOI equipment is not cheap. This company is in profit-assurance mode for the first 4 quarters of this year. As you know, when we ar

$100K for this entire line. We are thinking of getting a Chinese made reflow oven that looks pretty good at $25K. Also, we need to deposit solder using a dispenser as stencil printing will be reserved only for higher volume boards. It will not be pra
