Hello, I have just installed the demo version of GC-Powerplace. Could anyone here walk me through the process to generate pick and place file from gerbers? I don't have solderpaste layer. All I have got is signal layers (top/bottom), soldermask, sil

It's driven by those highly technically astute politicians in Europe. IPC has a lead-free forum you can subscribe to and almost to a person in the forum agrees that elimination of lead in solder is assinine. From the automotive end of electronics

If you visually inspect the solder joints of the first dozen or so boards with the Pb free parts and you're meeting workmanship standards then I wouldn't worry about it. When we started getting the first barrage of Pb free parts a couple years ago w

I am interested in getting feedback from anyone who has or is reeling different parts on the same reel for pick and place. Our department is extremely high mix, extremely low volume. I am also very new to surface mount, and any experience with this

We've all been soldering Pb free parts for a couple decades. All your surface mount capacitors have probably had a Sn finish for years. Whenever one of our parts with a SnPb finish converts for Pb free we have the manufacturing site do a small buil

we manufacture a range of ceramic parts that have silver termination,there is already a small leaching problem (absorption of the termination by the solder in liquid form)with Sn62 that we live with, having to implement unleaded solder they are norma

We are currently experiencing a high rate of false calls on our 0402 chips. Resistors for the most part. Has anybody out there found a setting where this false calls are minimized? We are using top red light, pattern inspection,color inspection ( wh

Dback, Some questions for you: 1. Are you using the red light configuration for better contrast on the 0402 parts? 2. Is your system fitted with both low and High Magnification cameras? Have you spoken with the guys at YESTech? Their phone support i

I think we should shift this issue to the machine suppliers, requesting changes in the machine design, in order to keep at least the jobs of high mix, low volume in this country. We can only compete with low labor cost countries by increasing the lev
