We charge a flat rate that covers Programming, Documentation, and Engineering fees. We arrived at the number by estimating an average time spent on these activities over a period of about a year. I lifted this method from a company that I used to w

I have a pretty good system for my counsultency rates of charge. It is a multi-tire system so to speak.I took a seminar on value stream mapping which is how come I know this stuff.I catgorize my consulting fees by area of expertise of course. Exampl

You're barking up the wrong tree. Solder "splashes" are generally caused by your print being off pad a bit. They are called solder fines. I've never seen a placement machine have the capability to push paste around using it's kiss-off from the noz

I need to find a qualified candidate to join a communications company in the SMT department. The project calls for an individual who has worked with product development building prototypes and testing them in an R&D environment, as well as workin

Also keep in mind that the CCGA column length tolerance is at minimum +/- 0.13mm from most part manufactures and they don't collapse in the same way as a BGA, therefore the paste height deposit could be critical in some rare circumstances. Board warp

Hello, I have a Philips Assembleon Topaz (not an X or XII, just Topaz), that we got from a broker or what have you. I just did a complete rebuild of the head assembly after some of the shaft bearings went out and was getting ready to do the auto moun

Amen to that Patrick. I am from a traditional Engineering background myself - they never taught wave solder in school. My curriculum was mostly theory and labs. When I got out, I read all the soldering books available at the time and also watched s

CK, If the contact length with the wave is decreasing when decreasing the conveyer speed and visa versa you need to check the machines electrical or electronics something is very wrong. Contact length is determent by wave design, wave height, convey

Stephen, Correct when focusing just on contact length and time only contact time should change when changing the conveyer speed (when the machine is in good operating condition). Changing the conveyer speed changes a lot more parameters like: *Flu

AMC, I believed that a promotion is an incentives and a privilege from the company. How do you recognize your people? I have also worked with an American company and they provide promotions to well deserving employee. Yes, you are correct, my pay wa
