Test Jet will work for catching lifted leads, certainly. X-ray is the only thing for testing for internal solder defects such as voids and cracks. I personally do not have any experience using X-ray, so I cannot advise on its reliability. Perhaps

Look on this forum for a link to SMTMaestro which does just that. Fab3000 is almost there with its BOM tools and has a bunch of handy features, its just that they have not considered this use case instead focusing on recreating the centroid from gerb

I was able to access the secret screen! But now it keeps giving me that counter overflow error when I try to do origin. That wasn't happening before when it was all in Japanese so I think it may have something to do with the machine system data we re

We've got a problem with a fine pitch board that has about .005" registration error at each end (towards the center of the board) when it's printed. Apparently we've got a case of board stretch generated at the fab shop. I still have to do some mea

The 10k rebuild does not need to be applied every 3-4 months as previosly stated. A cp machine that is running 100% of the time on a 24/7 basis will tack up 10k hours in 12.4 months. Now we all know that this is impossible due to parts shortages, pro

As the article eludes to, you still need probe access to measure the pins with TestJet. One thing I wanted to add was the use of JTAG for use with Boundary Scan. Certain devices have JTAG capability, but not all JTAG devices are Boundary Scan compa

Dr. Lou, Your first question is influenced by many variables. New equipment will have the first year free parts, labor and service. You may discuss a long term at time of purchase. Older equipment may (depending on maintenance) have a higher chance

| There is a practise within the industry of an Inspector inspecting a board, and that same Inspector performing touch-up. My opinion is that the Inspection and Touch-up operations should be separate functions whereby the Inspector is not performing

Yes!!! How can we assemble boards with 20 pitch when we allow 0.008� error to the master art? Excellent question!!! IPC-D-300G has nothing to do with assembler requirements. It is written by and for fabricators, so that they can be comfortable.
