Dave, that's good thread, but I think Mike is more concerned with the Titanium inserts that pallet manufacturers often use to overcome sh*tty designs - like the ones where they put a Through-hole 2mm away from a SMT pad. He's not so concerned about t

There is not standard for the force to pull an axial lead from a soldered connection. ".....IPC does not have pull tests in any of its standards, and some reliability experts would prefer to keep it that way, pull tests are commonly used by some lea

Hi Dave - You are correct that I was not clear in my comments. I assumed Joris had seen the usual solder balls accompanying his blowholes. Nevertheless, Joris, my first two recommendations still stand. Increasing the dwell time of your leads in t

What's sad is, it really happened. I won't bore you with the details again. ;) Lloyd, I would love to have a nice Hi Scope too (I think Cchunks works for one of those big champagne and caviar corporate entities ;)) but if you can't swing it, at leas

If someone knows specifically what the sequence of events is in a Topaz placement step I'd appreciate it if you could share that with me. We've developed an intermittent problem with ours where it places the part and immediately stops with E0873. T

Hello, Is anyone using an SMT pick&place machine to insert single contacts into PC boards? I have some boards that have 32 female contacts for 1mm pins, and 16 contacts for 0.5mm pins. I have been using Mill-Max for these contacts, getting the sma

We have two, about 2.5 years old and 1.5 years old. We run all kinds of parts and get about 18K to 20K CPH. The pick accuracy is fantastic so have saved a lot of $$$$ by not having dump buckets full of parts at the end of runs. I could not be happier

Hussman, I don't understand the last sentence of yours "but far from where this thread was going". What do you mean with that? I was just trying to give "Novaman" some infos. The fine old equipment You use from the old -20:s or so, is probably just a

Hi Mika, Yes, this is on for the very near future. Good Coldfusion programmers seem hard to come by these days but we do have a good one when he is available. F.Y.I. We'll be doing some minor enhancements in the following months while at the same

Doing the research on the feeder jigs, I have found that certian jigs are not used in most places. I am hoping that some people with the different jigs can post their feedback on the jigs they have. I have been told that some of the 'cheaper' manuf
