Inventory control and maintenance

Electronics Forum | Tue Feb 24 15:52:58 EST 2015 | swiese242

We currently have around 20k+ components in stock. I would like to have some opinions on creating a more lean manufacturing system. We check stock in our system and then order parts. Most of time leading to employees looking for parts, or shorts. We

Supported holes, Solder, Vertical Fills, Hidden under connector body

Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 17 12:05:08 EDT 2018 | charliedci

We had a selective solder installation tech raise the connector body off of the PCB slightly with a spacer to allow for a visual inspection to verify the process/profile. A few years back we invested in a large enclosure X-ray with a manipulator arm

Mydata TP9-2 and TP11-UFP difference

Electronics Forum | Thu Jul 18 17:41:31 EDT 2019 | rgduval

The UFP was a designation for "ultra-fine-pitch"; but, for the most part, you should be able to get the same placements out of both machines. Anything 0402 or above can be mechanically centered. The UFP machine will lean on optical centering for .5

CP-642 specific part missing/inconsistent

Yeah my post disappeared as well? I checked to see if there was an offset and there was not. I tried step mode and all was good. I DID get to capture one video in, slow motion, and it shows the part being placed, the nozzle rising, and then when

Finished Goods Storage (PCBAs)

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 07 14:11:08 EST 2021 | dontfeedphils

What is everyone using for assembled circuit board/finished good storage? I'm looking for ideas. Most of my assemblies will have some sort of wire pigtail soldered to one side of the PCBA, so they won't sit "flat", and I'll have a large enough vari

Camera Smokin'

Electronics Forum | Fri Nov 03 11:36:34 EST 2006 | mika

Hi, It is good news to "hear" that You found the problem. This control board has also broken for us once but we had a broken camera unit from where we took this board as a replacement. Unfortunately I was not able to find the circuit diagram (among a

Who designs work cells? Mfg. Eng. or assembly workers?

Electronics Forum | Mon Jul 26 11:36:26 EDT 2010 | rgduval

Dean, My first thought relates to your statement: "I was under the impression that manufacturing engineering was responsible..." We find any statement that begins similar to this to be indicative of other issues within an organization. Unless it'

I don't know how I ended-up reading a current trade journal, when I have a stack of intentions behind my desk a foot and a half tall, leaning like a paper Tower of Pisa threatening to avalanche itself onto the underfill materials study, a meager one

Ditto to everything said. If everything in the process is correct you will have good success at 25 mil but it will take much care. I have done 20 mil on this type of printer but, as Steve says, I wouldn't want to on a daily basis. Those wipe-offs a

You are mixing long exposed paste back into fresh? How long has your fresh jar been open to the air? You are probably doing yourself a disservice by scavenging the paste (it could have moisture entrapped). Your visocity has definitely changed. You a
