Hello to you all I was hoping one of you guys would be good enough to give me some advice on a problem I am having with some training simulators I have developed for my work. I have basically built two electronic control simulators to duplicate the o

In 1995 we bought 4 Vitronics U520 reflow ovens with top heat only. We ran these ovens until 2003 for both curing and lead reflow with no problems. In 1998 we bought 1 U520 top and bottom heat and one U820 top and bottom heat and once again we had

Do a little bit of digging in the following areas: - Service/Support in China; How good or how bad is it? - Ease of use; can the operators harness all the features? or will you be baby-sitting them? - Access to parts/spares pricing...follows under t

If I remember correctly since I cannot find my copy of IPC 600, I believe that the 20% reduction applies to "defects" and not the total etch process. By the way what is being used to measure down to .0005"? For this measurement to be correct it wou

SMT assembly, First, you must utilize paste otherwise the parts will not stay put. Do you have any leaded devices such as QFPs or SOICs? Dispensing paste by hand is very difficult and time consuming for these types of parts. You can either dispense

Does Serge need bacons or turkeys?? None of them?? Then let him think about which machine suits his requirements! Throughput, flexibility, large board handling, output derating across board size variation and component size variation! Future proof -

Hi Rob, I can understand why you'r so passionate about your beloved Fuji's and judging by what I'm reading you have every reason to be. But also know this, (Fastek already pointed it out, but I'd like to emphasize it): a company's reputation, be it
