Does anyone out there know of a good book which outlines some rules, guidelines, or techniques that can be used to assure a good SMT board design/layout with tight control of EMI emissions? We've been paying some rediculous consulting fees to help f

Thank you, Cal. Indeed I can offer quality support and service on Siemens machines. For the current low prices of used machines, you may want to consider to buy more machines and compensate for down time. As a registered customer you pay $ 40,000 for

Jason, You state that it is not your job to know much it costs to staff a call center. It is mine so I will present my reasons for have a registration fee for support. You are right that in the past there was no fee. GEnX stated the reasons for th

It's good for Cookson shareholders that something has forced the managers of Cookson to come to their senses, finally. All those aquisitions never made sense to anyone, except the MBAs and lawyers that reaped the fees from all that paper shuffling.

I was also looking into purchasing a tape and reel machine. I started looking at Q-Corporations QMT-1250 machine. What I found though was that one of the major costs was the supplies. A lot of suppliers require you to purchase a minimum quantity o
