We are currently NOT using bulk, even though we looked into as a means of reducing machine time and component cost. Unfortunately, since bulk cassettes did NOT take the industry by storm as it was predicted years ago, we were stuck with long lead ti

Yes, I am a customer. I've bought brand new machines from this mfr. before. Many times, actually (through sales reps.). And when their tech support helps us troubleshoot a problem down to a component, we actually pay the three, four, five times the a

SPC was a fad of the '80's and has been mis-used by the igonorant for decades now! Doing SPC on defects is a case in point. Hell I implemented wave SPC programs before eating breakfast at 2 previous companies, and they worked great..resulting in 25

You do not always need test points designed on the board. Any ICT supplier will consult with you on that and after looking at your designs. Teradyne offers new and refurb'd systems for ICT, analog only or w/ Vectorless testing to ensure ICs have a co

I am partial to Weller for the small rework irons. I use both the WSL with WMP (current model) and some older EC1302 irons with their power supply (I forget the model, but the one with analog setting knob and digital temp readout). I actually prefe

I agree with RealChunks. The application of any of these "wave solder process control tools" is dependant on how the shop is run. At some shops, PM is inconsistent and slacked off on. At other shops, there is no technical expertise at the operator

I need a technical specialist to turn-on, trouble-shoot, modify, repair, and test the power supply prototypes at the printed circuit assembly and instrument levels. This person would be involved in setting up both manual and automated tests, making m

I'm in St. Louis, MO, US Midwest. I wrote my own CAm interface, and it works REALLY well. It is only about 2 pages of c code. Of course, it only translates from one CAD package's format to one P&P machine's format. That makes it much simpler to w

Hi Steve, I don't have any experience with CP2's. Sorry .. hazarding a guess though... if they use the analog servo amps like they do in the CP4's, they had a bunch of trimmer pots on them. There is a procedure to zero them using the mecca check mod
