You can buy plenty of paste height measuring systems today, ranging from full 3D laser systems to systems using an oblique light line which will measure the paste height only. I found that the lowest cost option was to attach a DTI to the focus contr

Charles, I am using an Air-Vac PCBRM12 to selectively solder a 96 pin thru-hole connector onto an otherwise all SMT board. Cost is $8.6K plus about $300 per flow well (nozzle.) Went from a 6 minute cycle to hand solder the connector to 15 seconds o

Hi Jon, I recently had the opportunity to look over a used IIIc converted to a IVc. The documentation, software and spare parts supplied with the machine seem more than adequate, however, upon spending several hours cleaning, oiling, familiarizing,

I have an Aqueous Technologies stencil cleaner and I can see many SAWA advantages over the "larger" machines. 1. Floor space savings 2. Chemical cost (up to 30 dollars a gallon) 3. Hand ultra sonic cleaning could never destroy the webbing and bon

currently we have a new Horizon 02i, new software "instinctive" is pretty easy to program and operator friendly, i love to work with proflow. Gridlock is not working so good as they told. I don't like that the paper doesn't roll while you're under cl

All the comments that have been made a great but I do have to say that much of the problem comes back to the design engineers not designing for manufacture. Centre board supports would have sorted the problem without jigs. | | I am running a board t

As many people have participated in this email string, including competitors and customers of Sawa, I would like to respond to especially one rather detailed email expressing concerns with this stencil cleaning system. Also, this teaches me to keep

Rich An excellent question and one which is often totally ignored. If you wish a "no-clean" flux to be as safe as it possibly can be, the PCB and the components must all be contamination free (ionic and non-ionic). Only then can you be sure that the
