| Does anyone have angles on how to reduce N2 consumption at reflow process (i.e. process control equipment, etc.)? | | Any help would be appreciated | N2 consumption is very "machine" and process dependent. Some machine designs are better equipped

| Phil - The C Series machines do not support adaptive pick. If you get a chance, take a look at the the Q Series product line from Quad. I think that you will be impressed. I worked with L&W for a number of years. There has been a great relation

| Can anyone tell me why Philips would obsolete my feeders. I am trying to add a newer machine to my line and I am told that the feeders from my 84VZ no longer work. Is this true? | Not exactly. Mechanical feeders for the CSM-66/84/VZ are not usa

| I have a problem with measling on our PCB's. We saw it on our FR4 PCB's at final assembly yesterday. Is this a defect from the board vendor or something we did in our assembly process when building the PCA's (thru hole). Could the wave solder ma

Rich, From my experience, few causes of capacitor cracking are: - mechanical stress caused by pick'n place nozzles and chucks. Try to isolate and find cracked caps before boards go thru reflow or wavsoldering. - thermal stress by reflow pro
