Is there a way to avoid the reliability problems arising from the tce mismatch between ceramic chip smc's and FR4 laminates, without spending an arm and a leg on expensive substrate materials? Are there inexpensive substrates with reasonably compata

Take a look at the Essemtec machine it basicallly does what you wish to acheive but at a much higher price. It uses a standard camera, laser alignment of components which would probably be essential if you wish to achieve your stated speed. Could sit

I like the possibilities. Couple thoughts; all good equipment is solid, don't try and design a machine around modular aluminum extrusions, they're junk. At the very least use a heavy steel table with a 1/2" base and 4" square legs, they can be bou

By way of an update. We have the locost machine running. Plenty of stuff left to do BUT we should have it available for Q3/2009. The basic spec is much the same, we have spent *ALOT* of time developing the vision system and calibration mechanism.

Who do you all use for your transformer needs? Some parts may be COTS, but for the most part custom winding would be needed. High voltage, low current AC primarily, but some DC as well. Quantities sub 1000, but with long-term agreements. Any reco

Thanks for the comments. Tech-support is one the big savings we think we can make and the customer will have to install the machine themselves - we will make a comprehensive series of videos and tutorials. Calibration will be semi-automatic and the

How high a voltage are we talking , 240 volts, 4000 volts , 26000, volts 60,000 volts, 240 volts is easily done as we go up the scale insulation becomes a bigger problem and winding machines have to be much better in control of tension,also at higher

Hmm, interesting. My Philips CSM84 weighs 1600 Lbs or so, and it bounces around quite a bit when moving. It doesn't really move very fast, maybe 2 M/sec tops, and 3600 CPH is about all you really get unless the feeder is right across from the compo

Anything that can handle the standard SMT packages of today has to be precision. The machines have to be built rigid, and cannot be made of sub-standard components. I have worked with placement machines since the late 80's. The machines that work th
