Brian- IPC has SMEMA Down loads for communication protocal: http://www.ipc.org/html/fsresources.htm. Also, I interfaced a fuji CP6 with a Siemens s20 and had to put in a relay and sensor to complete the communications loop. Fuji uses a 24v on/off com

Some boards that are populated by one of our subcontractors are getting a white powdery residue forming on them. I think it is the non clean flux and process which they are using that is causing the problem. Their process is as follows. Flux is put i

Did I miss something, is there a competition, a championship out there? World class with a bicycle or a racing car ? And still there�s the question, what�s the measure ? Stock quotes, workers, products, customers, nature ? It wouldn�t be "world cla

Good story. Bad idea. You need standards. You need training in those standards. Call IPC to get both. You're wasting time and money with this cockamamey scheme to outsource your inspection standard making. And who says the bozo or bozette tha

Most places I've seen don't do anything special. But then again most places only have chip components on the bottom of their boards along with some thru-hole. The best way to find out if you are going to delaminate is to talk to the board manufactu

We use both a 3S and a 3AV. We do place 0603s and have tried 0402s which the machine is supposed to have the ability to place but will not do reliably in a production environment. We do have fairly good results with the 0603s, but we try to place t

Well the majority of it has been sitting in pails for months, since our supplier quit handling it for us. It's pretty solvent free, at least on top. Do you really do that? It just sounds like another process control headache. Doesn't the oxidation
