Our design team have got a problem. We need to either drill out 6 vias/pads for a BGA site, or remove the solder balls form the BGA before they are palced. ( std eutectic) Has anyone used a vendor to remove balls from BGA (0.75mm piutch, ball size ap

We here at Precision PCB Services, Inc. Perform selective ball removal. We just completed a job today where we removed 4 balls, and then installed traces to dog-bone the pads at two locations on 30 BGA's. An eaisier and more cost effective solutio

Hi, Does anyone know of some good software for managing component consumption in manufacturing and keeping track of what products use what components, and the consumption rates over time. This lets us forward plan component orders for future product

A minimalist approach would be to add one 8mm, one 12mm one 16mm you get the idea. It's not that big a deal to swap a reel of whatever component onto the open feeder. The next step up is to gauge the cost of the initial set of feeders, say, if ther

Mark, You should have enough feeders to build your largest board and have your next largest board loaded up to run as well. Unless you only have one product you will quickly find out that changeover time can really kill your productivity. Keep in

The short answer? More Get enough for the largest set-up, the second largest set-up plus 10-20% more for breakage and wear. Don't forget about feeder racks. I would recommend 20-30% more slots than feeders if cost is not a big issue. Feeders are pr

Without knowing your requirements... here is a safe bet.. 8mm feeders will typically be your biggest user followed by 12mm then 16mm then 24mm... ect... apples to oranges ? 100 8mm 25 12mm 12 16mm 10 24mm is a close ratio.... as others have stated yo

I have noticed when I call the MPM parts hotline I get Ken at MPM (Franklin). Also, my friend who has worked at mpm for over 10 years mentioned that Camelot has beem moved into the Franklin facility with MPM. There was a large debt load on that tra

It sounds to me like Electrovert is a thing of the past. They were bought by a financial clearing house company and were sold because they have been losing money consistently. The new Speedline owners have moved all of their operations to the East
