Hi, I don't know anyone who uses Mancorp, and apart from this forum have never heard of them. I guess the big problem I faced when getting into SMT is trying to find a machine that could do what we wanted at a good cost. I originally purchased MYD

Solder iron robots tend to miss solder joints from time to time. The wire feeder systems are the key to these machines. Most use the edge of the board for alignment is another reason they miss. If you have SMD close to the thru-hole, the robot may

Why? Just use IPC on finished solder joints as your guide. I've seen groups of people puts hundreds of hours into this task and then tell me a 3 mil stencil is all I need. After reflow, none of the solder joints meet IPC Class 1 and a lot of tombs

Kelca..... I don't think yer getting the picture here. These boards are supplied by the customer. They are "Labor Only" accounts. We have NO control of the PCB's or any of the parts for that matter. These Labor Only customers show up at the back doo

we have both flexjet and flexhead, we also have the new inline 7 head on some genesis dual beams we just put into operation. If you have a choice in flexjet heads take the inline 7. The flexjet 09 head is very labor intensive, stay away from them, e

Are Any of you driving the same vehicle you drove 20 years ago? With most, if not all of you answering no, why not? Shouldn't regular maintenance keep the vehicle running well past 200,000, 300,00 or even 500,000 miles? My boss also thinks that

As a high mix, low volume CEM who deal with a lot of free-issued kits, we are heavily reliant on foil (tape cover) extenders. We don't usually bother with splicing as our machine feeders (Simenes Siplace and Samsung SM321) are designed in such a way

A fair price.... well its the feeders that retain value. I know if you were to sell an Essemtec distributor a machine with say 10 banks of CLM feeders that old, they would give you perhaps only £10k. Refurb CLM feeders are ~£3k gbp (or about 1/2 of n

Thanks for the details. Next question- where is your first time pass rate measured? Is this at test? Do you have inspection gates at the end of each process step? To get to the root cause, you need the earliest detection. Collect attribute data by a

Norman- I would be pushing to get the real world to match the ideal world, in other words get your jobsetters to do the right thing. You are looking to incur more costs to justify not having to make people do their job right. A bit of training a
