Tented vias have solved problems for me in the past, but never created any. I have heard seemingly pointless discussions about whether or not the EE that designed the board designed it with filled vias in mind (a consideration of current carrying c

The german machines use the same basic procedure as the Compact Systems CS-400E but (to my knowledge) no cut and clinch. Can you give any information about manual visual inspection after stuffing boards with such machine. If stuffing boards without

We're in the market for a new depaneling router for high volume flex circuit builds. I have no experience with them. At this time, we do all our low volume stuff on a 3-axis mill. Any advice on what to consider and some recommendations of the best

I need some advise from those with experience on this component. We are facing soldering problem "pillow effect"(from cross section result)on this BGA. In the reflow profile point of view which area should we focused more? The soak time or the Total

I witnessed this at our sister company. It seems to be their standard process. It is not my place to interfere with their processes. I was just curious if there was any chance of brittle solder joints or other defects that might be caused from the WS

Much thanks again for the replies. Does anyone have any experience with UIC GSM1 machines & feeders & overall programming & use therein? I've come across a couple of these that are in the same price range. I seem to remember UIC having a decent rep

There are 2 reasons for wanting to change to an enclosed print system: - Reduce solder paste usage. (We run a high volume application so any reduction in paste scrap is a big money saver to our company.) - Improved print quality. (Ours is a non-rew
