Hello everybody! I'm working with a Quad 4000c that has been refurbished by PPM and need a little help with using the CAD feature. Is there anyone that can help me out by giving me a basic walk through of how this works? I'm not sure if this is valu

I couldn't be more pleased with Panasonic. We've upgraded from MPAV's and MSR's to CM602/DT401 and now their NPM platform. NPM's are extremely fast and accurate. Their auto pickup position teach is great especially if you're running any 0402 2mm pit

Simple answer is no you cannot do it and why would you?.. is it a cost saving thing? As Dave F correctly points out you have a fair amount of noxious fumes to handle that aren't getting exhausted if you switch of the extraction so they will go to you

Yageo announced their decision to stop marking SMD resistors back in 2013, and since then we have started to see 0603's that aren't marked, but larger sizes - so far - are still showing a value. 0402's have never been marked, and I doubt they ever w

Hello everyone, I was wondering for a long time, what are the differences between pick and place and CAD Files. Can anyone list me all (as many as you can) differences between these two types of files. I know there are a lot of software solutions f

Suppliers have improved the utility and quality of OSP [organic solderability preservative] solderable surface protection over the years. Be cautious reading too much into older SMTnet [and web in general] conversations about handling OSP. When prop

I'm not sure if your customer will allow it but consider sealing the perimeter of the connector where it meets the board with some kind of sealant or staking material. Cure it then apply tape on top of it. Then all you have to do is remove the tape a
