I just got a scope off of Ebay from Precision World. There have been some kinks, but, overall, it was a good experience. The scope I picked up actually zoomed a little too much for our needs (I need to use it for assembly, as well as inspection).

I only build my own products, so it has to meet my needs for QA only. I am doing some 20 mil lead pitch (0.5mm) and will soon be doing a 0.4 mm pitch part. I have more magnification on my microscopes (40X) but almost never need to go that high. If

I have searched through the topics here and none seem to address this specifically. I was wondering if anyone had any links/info directly showing how proper ventilation for fume extraction on a manufacturing floor should be handled. From my research

I looked at a number of small bench-top batch ovens and saw two things. First, they got VERY expensive when you got above the very smallest units. Mine will fit an 8 x 12" board. I still have to do one that size and see how uniform the temperature

You will need to develop your reflow profile which includes drilling a hole through the fab and into the ball for accurate temp measure. During profile/process development you will probably want 3D x-ray (consider contracting that out). Once in prod

We had a customer that had 5 BGA's top and 2 bottom and several other assemblies that had 4-7 total BGA's that required WS. Our average build quantity was 2200 boards a month. We used high end Maytag dishwashers and a little Amterge(SP?) Took them t

The tubes don't fit the feeders? I have a Contact Systems vibratory feeder base on my CSM84. It comes with 8 lanes of SOIC only. Well, I use a wider variety of the small chips, from SSOP to wide SO's. The feeder base has some threaded holes in th
