The UIC HSP (Sanyo), like Panasonic MV MS and Fuji CP, are random access turret type chip-shooters. Having a split carriage, typically 2x 60, 2x 70 or 2x 80 input carriage tables, allows for faster changeovers provided you have enough positions on ea

This may seem off the wall but I've seen it work in the past. It is a visual management system without the need for barcodes or spreadsheets. Obtain quantities of different colored clothespins. When a reel is taken out of inventory, attach a colored

We use cartridges, that way nobody can mix back in paste off the stencil and no air can get in period. Any paste that is still good to use when removed from a stencil at the end of a job is put into a small pink zip-lock baggy with the date written o

SMTnet Archives used to have copious amounts of information on a pin-in-hole [e.g., pin-in-paste, paste-in-hole, etc] reflow process, but much of that appears lost with the conversion to the new and improved site format. In getting started, check:

We use a Wave Solder Plated Through Hole (PTH) assembly process to install a TO-220 Chip Package in the PCB board that we manufacture and have experienced lower yields on a number of boards with this component due to Bridges. The bridges on the TO-22
