Larry: I've got extensive experience with solder skips on both 0603 and SOT23 devices. We also installed an "Omega" vibrating wave on our machine, but it didn't really have an impact on solder skips. The major difference that the omega makes is in

SMTnet Archives used to have copious amounts of information on a pin-in-hole [e.g., pin-in-paste, paste-in-hole, etc] reflow process, but much of that appears lost with the conversion to the new and improved site format. In getting started, check:

John- Just few ideas at random (brainstorming) - While times are slow invest in training of your current staff. There are some great training facilities out there offering valuable knowledge. Knowledge is a valuable thing to have and will prove to be

There are a number of issues here. One is having good benchmarks prior to training. Most companies monitor production issues like inventory, scrap, rework, etc. A good ESD program would be performing frequent audits and recording deviations. Hard

Hi, Why not have a look at Philips/Assembl�on, their ACM machine is quite nice. It may also bring you down to Flip Chip, 0201 some through hole and odd form placement. Nice options like bulk feeding, coplanarity tests, fluxing for FC, prom feeders (

Fred, The system will base itself on the information within the GF file. In the GF file you provide the description as to the physical dimensions, features, tolerances and handling for the part. Once the component has picked up the image, it is "see

All, I am having a problem with joints being soft after SMT. Especially 25 mil and smaller parts. It seems as though you can slide the leads right off of the solder. It takes only about 30-40 oz. of compression at 45 deg. to move leads off of join

Wolfgang, We also tried to find generic 'guidelines' for Moisture Sensitivity levels. It would be a perfect world, if you could say that all PLCC84's were level 4 devices. Unfortunately it is not that easy. Moisture sensitivity levels are
