Hi, I might say I have some experience (1 year) in wave soldering. Yes I have set all parameters to run PCBs through wave solder. Yes, I have run new products on wave solder and had to find solutions for problems encountered. I understand relationsh

Amen to that Patrick. I am from a traditional Engineering background myself - they never taught wave solder in school. My curriculum was mostly theory and labs. When I got out, I read all the soldering books available at the time and also watched s

Grayman, I am of non-caucasian descent myself (an immigrant), and you are WAY off base on how the corporate structure here in America works. As others state, Engineers CHOOSE to stay Engineers and GOOD Engineers have no aspirations for upper manage

CK, If the contact length with the wave is decreasing when decreasing the conveyer speed and visa versa you need to check the machines electrical or electronics something is very wrong. Contact length is determent by wave design, wave height, convey

Stephen, Correct when focusing just on contact length and time only contact time should change when changing the conveyer speed (when the machine is in good operating condition). Changing the conveyer speed changes a lot more parameters like: *Flu

Hi Ck, Good engineers would dream of and want to have big salaries, car plan and others and I believed only technical managers or managers would get. Though, I have not yet visited USA but I know you have the same business system as ours. We, Filipin

AMC, I believed that a promotion is an incentives and a privilege from the company. How do you recognize your people? I have also worked with an American company and they provide promotions to well deserving employee. Yes, you are correct, my pay wa

Gray, For SOME employees, it is a promotion and a potential career paths. in MANY cases, people truly ARE born (or raised) leaders and while they are not briliant engineers, they are GREAT at helping brilliant engineers do their best work and work wi

Hi all, I have a OK industries hot air pencil model number SMT-1160 even though the label on the base says its a SMT-1102. The problem that I have is that the Diaphragm (diafram) has ruptured inside the small internal air pump. Where can I get a p

I would have to agree with using your own part numbering scheme. Suppose you have a couple of customers who use the same size/material M3 X 6MM screw... However, one of your customers does not approve of a vendor that your other customer does. B
