Hi mate, we had a crap experience (once...no more...) with gold plated over nickle (Au/Ni) PCB that had nickle contaminents in the PCB supplier's gold bath. the Ni caused batch-delivery of the PCB to us for mass production, to exhibit the visible s

Ron, The new ystem is probably the best one I've seen for useability, the who thing can be driven by wizards to guide people through what they need to do. The system has the ability to set alarm's that will basically analyse your result's for you an

By centralizing to your stockroom all your feeder setups so that one team is assigned to just that, to keep all your 7 lines up and running will reduce the amount of personnel you need and increase throughput. Keep in mind a key factor. The bottlen

If you don't already have one, the best investment you can make in your case is a good thermometer/humidity meter. They are not at all expensive. Then record the temperature and RH about 4 times a shift. After a few weeks (maybe sooner) you can se

Steve, We are touching up 6 - 12% of all solder joints processed. We consider the solder joint to be the focal point of the SMT process. Therefore our metric is based on it. For example in a given month we... 1. Assembled 25pcs of 'A' (IPC-A-610/J

Wrong Sai. Quite a difference between assembling a board or a PC and building/assembling a screen printer. These systems being built in China will be for the China or Asian market only. MPM and DEK spent decades trying to establish themselves as the

Hi Ken First of all, I think you are right to point out that the uptime should be calculated on the SMD line bottleneck. But I have some comments to your posting in general: The SMD line bottleneck, you say, is always the palcement machine. This i

Some things to consider 1. can one operator keep up with manual operations and not slow the line down? If yes, great. If no you will need a way to allow more than one operator access to the next board coming down the line to not create a bottleneck.

I'm not talking about buying components. I want to know how would you go about setting up an SMT line from scratch. Or, maybe more specifically, how do I convince management, with data to back up all my arguments, that this is not a good idea. That

Hi Brian I see no reason why people cannot register, so the forum can be controlled. If they have legitimate business to discuss why would they not be willing to register. I think the responses from regulars to sales types are excessively abrasive
