We use both a 3S and a 3AV. We do place 0603s and have tried 0402s which the machine is supposed to have the ability to place but will not do reliably in a production environment. We do have fairly good results with the 0603s, but we try to place t

As we are located in Canada, i am hoping someone in North America could use some of the machines or at least spare parts. They still place 0603's pretty good.

There was a great list on here a year or so ago with all the Philips and Yamaha #'s and what they meant so do a search on it. The VZ had programmable placement height I recall. If your in the US I know a CM that I think still has one in good shape wi

If I am putting chip capacitors on a .063 FR4 board, what size package should we stay away from to avoid cracking? If I use 2 mil copper on the outside layers of a PCB, am I limited to what pitch of parts I can use? Specifically, will using 0603

Reliability, number of machines in the field, you can pick up an older UIC GSM and it can easily handlrle 0603's and up. On top of that, any fine pitch or bga's and you'll be fine. Plenty of feedets out there too. Manncorp is as low as u can go. Very

Hello everyone, I'm in a manufacturing environment with a middle mix of boards, and some mid volume. The cards are our design and the most diffucult pakage is TSSOP-14, QFP-128 and 0603. So, we have deciced to buy Mirtec MS-11 3D. What is your experi

I'm trying get some help/advice/consulting on using a Contact 3SX Pick and Place machine. We've been using the machine for several months and have been successful placing parts (nothing smaller than 0805's so far). Recently, we are experiencing err

How large of chip capacitor can we use reliably? I��ve heard they tend to crack. I��ve also heard if you pre heat the larger chip caps (1812 and above) before vapor phase reflow, they won��t crack. If I use 2 mil copper for a power supply board, a

Does anyone know of fully automatic pick and place machines that can pick up parts either from small pieces of cut tape (i.e. 0402's, 0603's, SOT's) or components loosely arranged on a tray (not ic's that are in matrix trays)? Application is proto
