I've worked with Juki and Panasonic/Create. Both have been good machines, but we've found Juki to be superior in cost, performance, and service. Our 750's are 8 years old and still run great. We've just gotten a 2060R this last year, and we've rea

Hi Sue! I've worked with Fuji, Assembleon, Amistar, Mydata, and Juki over my 20-years in the industry...working with Fuji now, and I will agree that Juki machines are simplest to program, operate, and maintain. Support has always been good...I wish

I remember way back when we had a finger taping machine. I cannot remember who, what, or where, but I would bet that they are still available. Basically just ran board thru machine and both sides or one side would be taped. It was not conveyorized

What is a foolproof means of eliminating moisture content from Printed Circuits that arrive (bot hpurchased and consigned) in unsealed, non-dessicant packed bags? Als, is there a procedure for basic mass of boards vs. temp/cure times? I need to min

Yes. Heat reduces OSP solderability protection thickness. For instance, many OSP are shot at the end of the first reflow pass and the exposed copper is free to oxidize. If you're speedy, you can pull-off the second reflow cycle before the copper g

CSV from excel works great on GSM. P/N, x, y, theta is all you need. When you do CAD upload, GSM software allows you to name columns so you don't really have to have it in any order as long as you understand it. You can also convert mils, mm, inch
