Sometimes it's just because they want "data art" on the walls. I was once tasked with developing an SPC program for our SMT lines. It was crudely implemented (plotting points on a chart template) because this was a BIFF (big improvements for free) p

Hi, we have plans to build up a SMD manufacturing line and would like to get your feedback what is best for us to choose. We are outsourcing about 50 different products which are more or less low series (up to 1000 pieces). Boards are very different

Thank you for your reply davef. Although the US restriction, I think that there are plenty of users of immersion tin in Americas, mainly low-volume fabs that do not plan to outsource finishing, or do not plan or can not invest in a HASL. If we res

We do not outsource assembly of our product, but we have discussed it. So, until other fine folk at SMTnet respond, we thought we�d rattle on for a while and maybe inspire some other chatter on the topic. As we understand it, you: * Currently contr

I'm looking for advise on setting up a prototype station for smt (we are currently outsourcing smt production, but have a need for rapid in house prototyping). The station must be able to handle only single sided boards with components no smaller th

Peter, I've used both systems, and can offer the following: Manex (xERP, last I knew) is a pretty inclusive set of manufacturing, inventory, accounting, and planning set of software. I used mostly the manufacturing side of things, and found that,

So my salesman says to me that we could return our unneeded Al frames from our MPM printer to Alphametals in CA for credit to be applied toward a future sale. Sonded good. So I boxed up all the damn frames (44) and shipped them off to Goofyland. Now

When things go wrong (see below) it can usually be attributed to a communication problem. This is exactly the issue with this case. A meeting has been held and corrections have been made with no hard feelings. However, another call rather than a

If it's really low volume I would only invest in a stencil printer and convection reflow oven to start with. If you want to go really low budget get a manual unit such at one from Transition Automation. Make up some really good shop aids and have s
