We've taken on a lot of new work this year and thus have need to hire more engineers and production staff. We've seen that a lot of our engineer candidates have little/no PCB layout training. Usually we could offer some on-site training on this topic

Autotronik/Borison is the only Chinese machine which actually works well, perhaps because it's designed in Germany, all other I've seen and evaluated are totally amateurish attempts with zero reliability, could be classified just as toys with no seri

.....cheaper than the big fish..... For Lowish volumes,as mentioned Autotronik/Borison is widely available and pretty competent. Evest make some really generic pick and place machines, they do the job but modern bells and whistles like smart feeders

We have several selective soldering machines, that because of several minutes of process time per PCB, one operator can keep 2 or sometimes 3 machines loaded and running. Other days only 1 machine is running but operator does not have enough time to

The z-rod bellows on head 2 and head 3 are slightly bent. The machine will show you this error if the runout is over 6.5 mils. This is usually caused by too much z when picking parts out of a vib or tray feeder. The machine will probably run. I ha

Hi Justin, The solder paste we are monitoring well. And there is thawing machine to make sure solder paste is not opened early, before it reaches its ambient temperature. we have got a suggestion that , it might be from PCB enig surface finish. Mig

Hi Evitmov, Thanks for your valuable suggestion. we have used RTS profile. And profiles with an average soak and reflow time.:( Those profile didn't help us so much. It at later stage we have adopted to this hot soak profile. There is one partic

Simulating with what? In developed countries manual labour is expensive but is also still the most common solution to fitting though hole parts, even if the board are then wave-soldered. Mixing SMT and THT on what sounds like a very simple product wi

Obviously the cost difference between only smt and smt+th is huge though TH only 1 components,they need different material,machines,tools and control methods,so if possible just use only smt process to assemble all components,but to verify if the usb
