We charge a flat rate that covers Programming, Documentation, and Engineering fees. We arrived at the number by estimating an average time spent on these activities over a period of about a year. I lifted this method from a company that I used to w

Hi all, Is it normal for some of the small nozzles to be rejected by the wide view camera? Every time I do a nozzle centering the narrow view camera shows green circles for nozzles 1,2,3,4. The larger ones (5 and 6) show the asterisk. The wide view c

Look into a used Siemens F-4 or F-5. These machines can be had for a reasonable cost, they are easy to maintain, the footprint is small (7' X 7.5') and they are simple to program. These machines have a 12 nozzle "Star" revolving placement head for

Real Chunks, I intercepted the email below from the RoHS USA pushback mailing list. This email comes from an engineer employed by the largest OEM in Belgium. Looks like you made a great point that �work� can take on several meanings!!! ************

Current Acceptable HMP Soldering Methods: 1. Wave / Selective Solder: Some Brands require upgrades to heating elements and Pot materials 2. Laser: Works well with PTH and medium/large passive SMT. Damage to PCB masking can occur when try

Wow, I should apply! As others state, wave solder engineers are a dying breed - believe me, I've been doing it for over 15 years. Often times, a very THANKLESS job. People who've never "dealt" with wave think that it's "easy"...c'mon a board trave
