Hi all, I want to shoot a question out to you guys/gals. Do you require your operators to get tape and reel components verified by someone else before they put a new reel on the machine? We always do a first piece verification of the initial set-up,

That's not a fair comparison. It's like putting a Ferrari next to a Volkswagon and asking which one you would choose if they both cost the same. The Infinity is a top of the line offering from DEK. The Accuflex is MPM's entry level machine for fully

Fastek is right. There is only one way to compare machines. You need a feature matrix, performance matrix, cost matrix. If you don't sort machines by class you could compare two completely dissimilar machines and not fufill your goal of equipment

Hi I am going to take another direction. Go to some classes, and buy some of the books, or hire a consultant to get you up fast. A consultant would be my first choice for speed and accuracy. National Training Center for Microelectronics in Bethleh

Who said there was NO evaluation? The paste we chose was evaluated based on a 20 point test score as well as material compatibility. Once we introduced it to manufacturing each line had problems. For one manufacturing treated it as a drop in repla

Prozone was sold primarily in Europe by Multicore (now Loctite). A brief search of their site seems to indicate that the product no longer exists. As for Prozone, as I recall, it was a ready-mix (no dilution required) chemical. If the containers w

The most common way is to screen print paste for the SMT placement, then then SMT placement then reflow then TH placement followed by wave solder. You won't be able to screen print for the BGA after reflow unless you use a mini stencil. Or you co

Mark, You should have enough feeders to build your largest board and have your next largest board loaded up to run as well. Unless you only have one product you will quickly find out that changeover time can really kill your productivity. Keep in

Hello, I am writing a software that deals with chip placement on PCB and I would like to know if there is some standart way to describe what are the coordinates of the chips on the pcb, I know that Gerber file contains all the drill holes and tracks,

The main function of the test is to evaluate the solder mask. Basically you are testing three samples: #1 - No solder mask, #2 - solder mask without solder, and #3 solder mask with solder. The solder pot is used to apply solder to the patterns on O
