I hope I don't get negative reaction again but I can't let this one go. The Contact Systems machine (C5) has level 4 traceability. There is no standard that defines traceability but Aegis Software Corporation defines four distinct levels of traceab

Thats interesting, I was told by people at Assembleon that the Lightning head from Universal does not work as advertised and that they have a lot of problems in the field. I went to New York to look at it, looked great. Talked to everyone I could fin

One of the requirements was traceability so I commented on that. I didn't comment on the Lightning head or on pricing policies. The lighting head has been sold many times and I have not heard of any user that kicks it back to Universal. Pricing poli

We are exploring ways to reduce the waste of solder paste. Here are some of the ideas I have in mind: 1) To use paste supplied in Syringe instead of jar. Paste that are opened more than 8 hours will normally be discarded, so we are looking for ways

So, you toss whatever is on the stencil every 8 hours. Correct? How long has it been on the stencil? * If that particular paste has been on the stencil for 8 hours, we'd agree to toss it too. * If paste has been on the stencil for less than 8 hour

Hello, We are having issue with one of the customer board. This is 10 layer PCB FR4 with black solder mask. Coating Ni/Au. Soldering leadfree. We are using 7 zones air reflow oven (zones top&bottom). We have bed solder flowing for this boards. T

Hello I made some test on different oven and problem still occurs. The only progress is that with diffrent thermoprofil ( Ramp to Spike instead of Ramp- Soak- Spike skewed components appears at 1 % of produced parts). With Ramp - Soak-Spike we have p

I have recently been handed over the waving operation here, and am unclear on how to address our recent issue with our Wave. We are using AIM WS-715M Flux in a Foam fluxer, and are using AIM SN-100C in the wave. The problem is on several of the assem

I am not using a solder pallet, I don't think the problem is contamination related, because these parts are on some of our other assemblies, and they're being waved with no problems. The problem seems to be mainly on our panelized boards for some rea

It sounds like you may be thinking of two different test methodologies. What is required? Bare-bard testing, to verify pcb fabrication? Or populated board testing, to verify manufacturing? If it's bare board testing, the fab house should advise a
