I would like a nicely packaged set of assembly tools (green handles and pouch) for use with RoHS assemblies. I have Green mats, dedicated irons, but would like clearly identifiable tools to better segregate the process. Can any of you provide a Man

You also need to understand when using something like a Q Cutter you should resolder the board after you cut! Your alternative is to get someting that when you put your part in it cuts and clinces the part. Contact Systems makes machines that present

We use a FKN pizza cutter and found that even with 5mm clearance and the proper orientation of the part larger ceramic capacitors 1812, 1210 would still stress fracture. We have successfully fixed stress fracture problems by adding routed relief slot

It is not as easy as just buying a Laser machine. There is much more involved in bringing this in house. With the price of stencils these days, you would have to be consuming a very large amount of stencils to justify such an investment. Steve is r

"Jeez, how do people like this make it to power?" lol...there goes Hussman, saying what everyone else is thinking. I do like robgd3's line of thinking. If you want to spend money, why not spend it on a machine that replaces* stencils instead of one

Incoming inspection: Look for flaws and measure position of v-score as well as depth. If v-scored on both sides of panel, make sure v-scores are in alignment. Follow the PCB thru all processes inspecting after each stage of processing, especially

Same here. Buy it by the 2-pack at Staples. If the tape does not get used often we pull off about 5 inches and discard before we use it. The exposed tape between the cutter and the roll, and 1 rotation around the outside of the roll attracts dust and
