I think we should shift this issue to the machine suppliers, requesting changes in the machine design, in order to keep at least the jobs of high mix, low volume in this country. We can only compete with low labor cost countries by increasing the lev

Patrick, I believe you are mistaken about this being a myth. Many component manufacturers changed more than plating to make their component withstand higher temps. Some changed mold compounds, others changed plastic types used. Many of these change

J-STD-001 doesn't necessarily require additional controls under conditions of low humidity, only that you verify the effectiveness of what you have in place. ESD S20.20 [1999] only says that relative humidity above 30% is "desirable". ESD S20.20 [200

Hi, We need to solder a USB plug onto a PCB in our SMT machines, and this is the same type of plug you see on USB storage devices. It's a very flat connector with 4 SMT pins, however the hard part is the bottom of the connectors is the same level

We currently have 2 M1 systems. Our false call rate has never been has high as you suggest. There is something wrong with your program and/or inspection algorithms, as you probably already know. You should be somewhere between 1000-1500 vcpmo (fal

Sergey, I understand your thought process kinda, but you are not going to justify yourself a pick and place line based on a "simple" 5K board contract unless you know something we don't. You do not want a machine that has buggy or slow software. Any

As we navigate through the CORVID-19 pandemic, many essential manufacturing facilities are still on line and operating. Some at reduced or modified schedules in following the guidelines to help reduce the spread of this virus. My question is in rega

You want a big enough storage tank to smooth pressure. Figure out what size pipes you need and go a size bigger. Make a loop of the pipes with shut offs. That way you can shut down any section and still have air to the rest of the air line. Run the p

I have a question about inspection, touch-up, and how far you need to go to get a product that meets the required IPC-spec. According to some reports (i.e. "New Study Reveals Component Defect Levels" by Stig Oresjo of Agilent) the average defect leve

Per ESD Handbook TR 20.20 paragraph 5.3.15 Humidity "Humidity is beneficial in all ESD Control Program Plans. Contact and separation of dry materials generates greater electrostatic charges than moist materials because moisture provides conductivity
