Thank you for your response. I have been told that x-ray strength is finding solder volume and pattern root cause defects, and will catch a high % of them - opens, shorts, insufficient solder, and missing components(shape of solder on pad w/o lead i

Although the following is not true capability machine assesment I feel that monioring the process at screen print, placement, reflow and wave gives results for both design and process guys to asses thire process. The project has been running since Ma

I am a design engineer and have a circuit board design with a 292 pin BGA on it. The board manufacturer is experiencing a failure rate of about 2.8% on the BGA device due to soldering problems. This is my first experience with BGA. How does the 2.

John- Although we don't produce "production simulation" software what we do produce will help you achieve better yields and throughput. Our software monitors the placement accuracy on Fuji placement equipment. "Optimization" and "production simula

Randy, I have been with my present company about 14 months and my first and ongoing task is to improve 1st time yield rates at ATE. Upon examination of the failures (14 months ago)there were cases of IC legs being physically wider than the pads on

Good Morning, We have several Mirtec table top machines. We bought the first one when it was under the Samsung name. We had the advantage of doing a side by side comparison with several other systems. The Mirtec was the leader in performance. Since

| Hi Folks, | This is my first surface mount board, so I asked our assembly house for some tips. They said only passives on the bottom side-preferably no smaller than 0805, 0603 only if I have to. I would think that an SOT-23 would be OK on the botto

We are already using ICT on the PCB, which should catch most missing components, also components installed backwards, or the wrong value(to a point - we do RF so we have lots of very small value caps and inductors which can't be measured), and in som

I'll have to go along with Wolfgang as having a good experiance with frameless. We have been using a system from IIT in California for about a year. I was sceptical at first because of this system's X only tensioning but it does work. We use mostl

Dear Ricardo, We have a number of published articles on our web site. One of them is titled "Improving Screen Printing Yields" by Richard Clouthier of AMTX stencils (now Photo Stencil). This article appeared in EP&P magizine and also Asian Electron
