I am currently looking into ways to decrease SMT changeover times. I work in a high mix-low volume factory. We use Fuji CP's and IP's for SMT production. I would appreciate hearing from anybody that has some proven methods for reducing setup/changeov

"DIP, VCD" -> "smt secondary" type of process flow. In that case, dispensing becomes a must. Dispensing needs less setup than printing, but takes longer. So, for a prototype manufacturer, dispensing becomes the best choice. Sometimes a machine dispe

We suffered our first blood letting because of razor sharp edge clamps (DEK 265LT) and operator giving it the finger. While positioning magnetic tooling pins, one of our best slipped and really sliced off a part of his main digit. This will impact hi

I came across your question and have a good reply for you: We have been using a system to reball our BGA's made by a company called Galahad. They have been working with Hepco for distribution. Give them a call at 408-738-1880. The system is around

| Y'all: IPC set-up a site addressing the environmental issues of the printed circuit fabrication industry. Some of it is interesting and applicable to the assembly business as well, even though not aimed directly at assemblers. IPC has recently t

We are having a bridging problem with SOIC 14,16 and 20 pin devices during flow solder of the bottom side of our boards. This bridging occurs about half way up the lead between the board and the body of the IC. The chip parts are no problem. The f

Wudduya mean ya can�t replace that ol� John Trieber? We agree. * Waverider thingies are best used to set-up process and in machine start-up. * Monitoring product characteristics is expensive, gives little information, and is so sloooow. [Plus we tu

The great thing about Mydata is the ability to put small strips of components on the Y-table. Takes only a few minutes to setup. I build mainly protos and small lots. The y axis is the table. The head is the x. Any problems you may have heard of were

Is it just certain locations on the board, or is it random, does it occur on every board, does this happen on any other products you have been running? If this occurs only on the 1 board and in random locations I wouldn�t say its your wave setup. I
