Actually, if you experience lack of witness marks, you probably have a problem. Witness marks are OK and will not affect your assembly. I assume this is an SMT assembly we are talking about, in which case, this is what your test pads are for. You

Once a day is excellent QA but my experience has been that it's overkill. We check various products at the start of the run - it amounts to a couple of times per month at most. Over the years, I have not seen any problems with the ovens. The only

You should just be running you Kic or Mole to verify the process.Every new board should be profiled. Once have verified the process there should be no reason to keep prifiling the boards. Your QA dept should be inspecting the solder joints. If there

Very interesting - esp that you have removed the temperature variable by being airconditioned. We defeinitely do not get strikes at 74 but do at 80 - but also we dont start the machine when its 80, that is the afternoon tempertaure on a rare hot day

Thank you both ( Gnus and Phil) for the replies. I will try to answer both with a new post. I like the idea of the stock room splitting the reels but our reels are released to the floor where the Magload ( Kit building) area stores them and builds t

Thanks dyoungquist and tech 1, Things have been crazy lately installing Mylabel and keeping up with customer demand. I have been looking into buying more reels for the high runners (caps, resistors, IC’s that we use a lot) and I think we have a shot

We are a OEM and growing pretty fast. The like the idea of setting up common components on the machine. It makes sense from a set up perspective. All of our set up is off line but the set up usually lasts longer than the SMT run so we have some spora

Talk to your buyers about forcasts. How do they know how to what to buy? They should be able to tell you what parts are going to be used on all the upcoming assemblies. Just make sure you don't get a purchase requirement report. That wouldn't inc

Most of it depends upon the type of Y wagon you have. if they are internal conveyors you need to remove the covers from the operator side. There are 3 screws holding the Y wagon down, 2 of them are hex screws and the one in front is an allen head. W
