IPC apologizes for www.apex2000.org being temporarily unavailable. IPC recently switched Internet Service Providers, which led to this problem. Corrective action is underway. As Roland Gorouard noted, you can still reach the APEX Web site through

Good question :) I'd say with a machine that is available for an average pick and place operator nowadays. Our manufacturer is not fixed yet, that's why I don't have any specific. On a related note I'm wondering whether the machine is so importan

Flexibility (if what I am thinking about flexibility is correct) is more important than speed. Most of the time spent on reloads, not the runs. We have high mix and fairly low volume (100-1000) Medium complexity QFPs, 0402, LEDs 100-2000 components p

I would expect any half decent machine to place 0603 parts slap bang on target to the typical defined accuracy for such parts on most machines of perhaps ~60 microns or better. Self correction during reflow is IMHO much less pronounced with lead-free

I couldn't be more pleased with Panasonic. We've upgraded from MPAV's and MSR's to CM602/DT401 and now their NPM platform. NPM's are extremely fast and accurate. Their auto pickup position teach is great especially if you're running any 0402 2mm pit

We had a custom bar code storage and feeder setup. Stores material handlers would bring the parts to the line, scan the part number on the kanban card (always accompanied the parts), and the storage location LED flashed so they knew where the place
