Post-COVID: PCBA in Mexico instead of Asia

Electronics Forum | Fri May 08 20:13:35 EDT 2020 | gregoireg

This is a similar question to https://smtnet.com/Forums/index.cfm?Thread_ID=22578 but I didn't want to steal their thread. In the recent COVID-19 events, I guess that some US companies are going to think to relocate their PCBA work from Asia / China

Posting a few more pix on how the 24V is sourced from our Emerald-X (Yamaha YV88X) which looks very similar to your machine. Look for the power supply connector for the dump feeder (which we bought used out of Shenzhen - working well). The green belt

FUJI CP4-3 CPIV-3 Parts/Nozzle Camera Issue

Hello, I am having an issue with a Fuji CP4-3 where during the nozzle center the image displayed by both the wide and narrow view camera is a black square. We have checked the cable coming from the 4400 Card and all checks out. We have also pulled t

Hi. Taking this from a total different angle - why not use ENIG to avoid this issue but find more competitive suppliers? We source from offshore all the time and finding that due to this dreaded virus - the market pricing is soft. Many are willing to

Reflow Oven Exhaust Temperature

Electronics Forum | Tue Jun 23 01:04:26 EDT 2020 | kylehunter

Thanks for your thoughts. So it seems then that the temperatures that we're seeing aren't unusual, and just need to sort out the fan issue... @Sr. Tech: Yeah, totally understand the radiator effect. Once the fan issue is sorted, we plan on insulatin

MPM UP2000 Vision Calibration

Electronics Forum | Wed Jul 01 05:33:29 EDT 2020 | zsoden

I recently purchased a used MPM UP2000 printer that I'm getting up and running. It's in very good condition and other than a worn out auxiliary on the main power contactor seems to be all working correctly. I've got it operating in demo/dry run mode

The question about PCB panel Gerber files

Electronics Forum | Mon Jul 13 08:36:56 EDT 2020 | autisndong

Is there any tool or process you would recommend that can take a standard stack of Gerber files (usually 2-layer, although the potential capability to support 4-layer would be nice) and bring them all together into one set of Gerber files on a combin

The question about PCB panel Gerber files

Electronics Forum | Mon Jul 13 11:33:54 EDT 2020 | spoiltforchoice

Well obviously the answer is yes. Most people would probably do it in their CAD package. If you want to use a third party tool Fab3000 does tis as well as a whole bunch of other things you might possibly want to do when processing files supplied by o

How to make transformer bobbins?

Electronics Forum | Fri Jul 24 08:19:55 EDT 2020 | jordanabshire

I often need to wind a coil for transformers, solenoids, or chokes, & I typically use craft plywood for the ends and a paper tube for the center, cemented with wood glue, or Cyanoacrylate . Then, I usually give it a coat of varnish or epoxy. I am cur

Electronics Forum | Mon Aug 17 20:55:14 EDT 2020 | stephendo

Support. You will want a radiation survey done annually. At a previous company having the manufacturer do it would have meant paying for the air fare and hotel for their tech to do it. I had found a company that usually did other things but could do
