Maybe this piece of information will help. In China (just returned from visit) there are many factories that are using a dual temperature process using SAC305 or Sn100C and 42/58. Apparently this allows them to run their through hole parts through re

Hi guys we had problems with our old pick and place machines and all the parts data and mark data was lost when we had to restart the machine. We made a copy but it has been so long that we used it that now it's not working. I hope someone has one of

Clarissa, Buying used equipment should not be risky if you do your homework. As M COX said, you should find out if the manufacturer still supports the machinery but don't take everything they tell you as gospel. Remember, they want to sell you a new

Hi All, I think you're adressing this issue from the wrong angle: What I'm reading is an equipment vendor who has an idea about what the best way of working is (replace entire feeders), and a (potential) customer who thinks otherwise (splicing). The

I made my own wave measuring device using KIC2000 system. KIC2000 has automatic wave detection, so now I have a profiler for both reflow ovens and wave solder. The delmat carrier only cost $500. A guy, Samir, from this forum gave me the idea, actu
