| I've just come back from Nepcon West and I'm just as confused about AOI as when I left. Is anyone out there really happy with their equipment and getting the results they expected? I would like to know about programming time and equipment reliabili

Folks, I think we are getting closer to being very happy with DEK stencil printers of the 265 GSX variety. However, problems continue arising concering fine pitch autoflex tooling pin breakage. We are told by the British engineering establishment,

Actually, solder paste adds about 12% to the joint volume for PBGAs, or about 31% for MicroBGAs -- assuming standard (recommended) pad sizes and stencil thicknesses, and paste with 90% metal content (50% metal by volume). | | I'd like to find some t

Hi, I guess that's the problem, I really appreciate the forum itself, but just wonder if some things can be done to improve it, as it's been similar for years now, while the rest of the web keeps getting better and better. It's really cool to hear

RoHS, or better Lead Free is an EU Directive that has been pushed ahead and driven by opportunistic lobbies ( equipment, materials, componentes,logistics, analysis labs, consultants, etc). Over here, in Eurolandia, since 2001 (the smartest started

Dear all, I'm considering to buy a nice rework station for our lab. We are not gonna do mass production and the smallest components that we will be soldering is in the order of 0201 smd components. Actually, I'm considering the following three machi
