| Hey Ya'll! | | Have any of you ever worked with one of V-Tek's "Economax" tape and reel machines? The biggest thing I'm curious about is the type of cover tape that these machines use. It's something they call P.S.A. (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive)c

0.65mm pitch QFP. I believe that this is the borderline for Fine Pitch. Will I have a good paste release with Chem-etch matched with a rubber squeegee? I'm planning of a 15% reduction on the Width and no reduction on the length. Any feedback whether

We are asking $10,500us for this machine, as for shipping I will see what I can come up with as we are in Canada. This is a dual wave machine with foam fluxer. It has not run in 3 years but when we had it in production results were favorable and cons

I just got back from a visit to our PCBA manufacturer. We have good flowthrough on the PTH, but solder skips and bridges on the SMT SO IC's. We have correct orientation and robber pads, but the results are still the same. I noticed the wave shape is

I have very little knowledge of pick and place machines or assembly, and was hoping someone could give me some advice of where to start looking. I do learn quickly so I am not afraid of challenges or learning through mistakes. I need to produce abou

The boards are expensive because they are your product... covered in circuitry. A 2% scrap rate costs twice as much as a 1% scrap rate. Say the parts on your consumer electronics board cost $5. A machine that makes 99% good boards and 1% bad boards

I have the same issue but with one customer only. All the other have smaller or more difficult QFPs with really low bridging issues - close to no-one. I think the PCB and PCB design also an issue - other customers are using 32/64/100/144 QFPs and we

Hello everyone, I work for a company that, up until now, has done everything using through-hole components. This has been fine for years, but we have been pushed into the world of surface mount manufacturing by a new product that is far cheaper and
