For Sale, two CAM/ALOT 1824 glue dispensers. These machines are in decent shape, but need the interface boards and the pump if they're to be used for SMT glue. They are the same as a Model 1818 now that they have been refurbished. One was refurb

Greetings, Could somebody recommend a good parts counter that can handle taped SMT and thru-hole components? I'm looking at some counters made by APS and some made by Grip, but I'd like some feedback about these products from people who use them. A

No, wouldn't want to, wouldn't be prudent. Best process I think is to solderpaste reflow the TSOP components then mask them for the wave. Mask using liquid type soldermask or a selective solder pallet. Or, if you must, the only way I can see any dece

We use DBA. dbasoftware.com They are supposed to come out with a new version in the next few weeks. Its cheap for something with integrated accounting and its decent but its still stuck in "windows sort of but works like dos". Hope the re-write is be

No, we don't have nitro. We may go that way if we can't find decent data from anyone other than the food industry on vacuum drying. I'm just more comfortable with low water/O2 content by removal rather than displacement.

Hi, Depends on where in the world you're based, but in the UK you can pick up a decent Universal GSM1 for around �12K-�15K ($20K-$27K). We place BGA's, huge fine pitch IC's, 72mm connectors etc with no problem. I believe they do up to 100mm feeder

I'll rephrase that - you've got rather a lot forward! Thanks on the zipper - wasn't sure if there was another trick to learn there. We used to use it on crap free issue boards with no solder mask between the pads, and on ultra fine pitch before we

Hi all, It is obvious that people starting with SMT assembly can not easily get training courses. User manuals are not suficient.Small companies buying used SMT machines are very interested in training books and videos. Is there any source of decent

Hi Grant, Our parent company is a distributor - if you e-mail me off line (via SMTnet)I'll look up some parts for you & let you know if/how much you're being overcharged, & if so point you in the direction of a decent distributor in whatever part of

Buy decent solder in the first place especially with Lead free and the savings made could be around 50% of the dross production for Lead Free when compared to Leaded. Buy poor quality solder you will need a solder recovery unit of some format. Cheers
