We have these thin and flexible sheets of fiberglass that we sometimes use to send boards through reflow that can't ride the edge hold fingers. We've had these sheets for a decade at least and have no idea what they are or where they were purchased

Hi Martin, I found the Amistar very easy to program and operate, but I recommend using a PC link ( PROCOMM )for data up and download. Despite the age of the machine, Amistar was extremly helpful in telephone support. We purchased some additional man

It surprises me that most of our friends have forgotten to keep updated with the latest equipment available these days! For a dream line with a "blank check" why not consider factors like speed, flexibility, changeovers, ease of operation, ease of pr

Can anyone give me suggestions on tape used for masking. Of course, I am looking for the "perfect tape" that sticks well, is flexible, offers lubricity for rubbing the tape, does not leave adhesive, easily removed for demasking, and won't leacvh any

If you haven't opened the boards yet, don't. OSP is the least expensive finish and as flat as any. BUT there is a reason most places don't use it. It does not store at all well. If you want any flexibility regarding storage of pcbs then go with ENIG.

First, SM-782 elates to surface mount pads. So, expecting to find PTH design rules there is a bit of a stretch. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for similar threads. For instance here�s one from last week: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fu

We have an Ersa and an Ace machine. The Ersa is made for bigger volumes of boards. Programming is longer/harder and not as user friendly. If your running 100 boards or less.....the Ace is the way to go. If you need flexibility the Ace is better.

We are a high mix/low volume shop (avg. lot size is about 60). Hand solder was a bottleneck, so we looked into selective machines. We purchased a Vitronics-Soltec mySelective and are very happy with it so far. Although it has a large footprint, ev
