Not exactly SMT but something I recently did that might save you lots of time and money: Complex high $ assy that has 25+ conformal coat keep out areas - most different shapes. All locations are dimensioned on customers' print. We tried a one piec

I'm assuming these are two leaded axial components. GPD Global makes fluid dispensing and component prep equipment. Component leads can be formed (or bent) in order to provide some resistance in the hole during insertion. This should prevent the comp

How do you answer that question? You probably won't find anyone who has worked with both which leaves them comparing datasheets just like you presumably already have. http://www.e-by-siplace.com/28657/E-Performance/Overview/e_series_stage.aspx?slide=

Acetone has hazards other than flammability and odor including potential effects on the nervous system, skin, kidneys, GI tract, as well as blood and bone marrow according to the CDC. Perhaps you misunderstood what I was saying regarding alcohol; I

There 2 main rival standards for orientation in tape and because you can't really trust manufacturers to stick to one or the other or something else entirely it is always wise to check the datasheet. Typically an SOIC will have pin 1 the same end as

It does look like it was setup for fuji or siemens connection. I did get the smema signals working; had to add the connections for pins 3 & 4 on both ports and move some of the existing connections according to the smema diagram. Also, I wasn't seein

Hi John, We picked up a used laser marker (Asys ALS03) last year for around 30K euros and it has done approx 2M codes (we use 6mm square QR) in the last year without fault - it reads them all back to confirm which is handy. We also use labels, and

Thanks for the reply. When you hit start on the printer, you can see it send the "start cycle (SMEMA)" signal, and it immediately goes to "awaiting board from upstream." This tells me that the printer knows a signal has definitely been sent and rece

Thanks for the link, Ive actually always wanted to learn Italian :) Unfortunately, because this has been an issue for about 2 weeks now, I think Ive read almost everything ever written about SMEMA protocol. The process seems so simple, it's killing m
