Steve, We have had the same problem at my company and unfortunately I do not have any good news for you. We are using a pizza slicer type depanalizer from FKN and if the MLCC caps are layed out too close to the edge they still break. We had to add th

Screen printer, placement machine(s) and oven. You may also need a hand insertion line, selective solder or wave soldr and some form of electrical test. There are a ton of name brands that no two people can agree on. To get a better feel for what

I agree Craig and I'm also not convinced DEK is really doing that well. I know they sell a ton of printers into Asia at around a 30%-40% discount to what they sell them anywhere else. A classic case of grabbing market share at the expense of profitab

Mario, what happens when there are components on the boards that are not rated to take temperature of 230-240 C Peak for a mixed assembly. I guess there are tons of sn/Pb components that have rated temp of 225-230 C.. So in guess you might want

Steve, We run Mydata's with CircuitCam, so we do not have the "problem" of having to seperate one build into two programs. We just use more magazines/feeders on the machine. But I can imagine your situation. I think to get around this is that you wo

Yes, that's a great idea.. It'd be kind of like a "Yahoo! Groups" type page or blog site where it's possible to post pictures. That would really come in handy especially in a technical forum such as this where there are many situations that're easi

If you're still looking and cost is a major factor. Celestica Toronto is selling a couple of GSM 1's in reasonable condition. They should do the job and there's tons of parts/feeders etc available in the used market. I think they're asking around

We do like Chunks says only a little bit different. Our stencil supplier e-mails us a "confirmation PDF" before processing any order. If it's a simple board, I just make sure all the apertures are there by comparing to board. If it's got a ton of

We currently use the VectorGuard stencils and love them. They are so easy to set and remove from the frame and weigh almost nothing. We get very good prints, we do 0402 and 16mil. We previously tried the Tetra system and were not happy due to the

There is nothing wrong with working "remote hours". Why does everyone think we are slackers just because we work 4-5 hours a day at work. There is a ton of remote time spent thinking about work whilst driving too and from work, at home, working out
