• 50 questions were posed on the SMTnet FORUM by engineers seeking help on their production lines
• 247 engineers, from around the world, helped by responding to these questions
• Over 62,000 engineers read these discussions to learn more about these solutions and what others are talking about
Engineers actually read the FORUM. The SMTnet FORUM is the listening post, the water cooler, the plant floor for the electronics manufacturing industry
This study proposes a new design of lightweight and cost-efficient composite materials for the aeronautic industry utilizing recycled fresh scrap rubber, epoxy resin, and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs). After manufacturing the composites, their bending strength and fracture characteristics were ...
Thermally conductive adhesives provide many advantages over traditional mechanical fastening techniques. Specifically, they use less material and space and are more amenable to automation than existing solutions. The thermal and mechanical properties of these materials are well understood but ...
Panasonic MV2C pick and place --
I need help. I have a old panasert MV2C pick and place machine that was working great until we had to shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and now everything is off. We had the system data saved but even after we restored everything from Japanese to English the machine has been acting funny.
Barcode pcbs for traceability -- We are looking to barcode our pcbs for industry 4.0 traceability. We have a fairly new laser that we use for other operations like case marking and would like to use this to mark a 2D barcode on the PCB surface for the SMT equipment to be able to scan. Our Engineers are having troubles ...
