Non-Destructive Characterization of Mechanically Processed Waste Printed Circuit Boards: X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis

This work aimed to characterize the deportment/concentration and liberation/association of the metals and light elements within mechanically processed waste printed circuit boards (PCBs) that hold the complex and heterogeneous structure and distribution of different material components. Waste PCBs passed through ...

Printed Circuit Board Assembly & PCB Design Forum

GSM Precise Location Failure Rejects -- Still running our GSM's and some parts we see a high rate of "precise location" failures. We tried tweaking the component definition and feeder definition. We also tried copying to a custom feeder and doing a teach. Nothing seems to have made a difference with about 1 in 20 parts being rejected. Any suggestions?

Juki programs to Ascii -- We have all Universal Instruments placement machines and one of our customer provided placement programs as pick and place file for new job. Is there anyway to extract ascii(pick and Place) file from Juki placement programs with extension .E47 and .E48? Or if someone have the machines that uses same file format can export the PnP file for me please? Thanks,
