Dave, Great to see you more involved in the lead-free. I assume the tests you have done were in lab environment, would it be possible to explain how you measured the area reduction (loss of weight or reduction of diameter/thickness) and how did you

skandaae: By "tilt" do you mean that one end of the 0603 has lifted from the board surface? If so, we call this "tombstone". In general, tombstoning is caused by an imbalance in temperature or forces on the component. * Convince yourself about the

Use a metal can and it will ground to your ESD flooring or can easily be grounded with a roach clip to bleed any ESD away. Generally, the plastic cans with plastic liners can build a pretty good charge up. You should really think "recycling" of ju

Probably very far-fetched, but I can think of a scenario like this: - machine picks up a component - between vision and placement the part is lost, but the loss is not detected due to oversize tool, which causes the amount of vacuum drop to go unnot

Would you risk your equipment decision on the �opinions� of a small select group of others? I have found this to be the most incorrect way to compare machines. Reason is, you always have two camps, and most have different experiences and applications

Stefan, Was this machine a Fuji by chance ? Did you buy this machine ? If so why would you or anyone buy a machine sight unseen that is "way overpriced" Just curious.. I have been told by representatives of major SMT machine manufacturers to BEWARE

It depends on a number of factors - including as Russ pointed out, complexity (sometimes you need to create very complex profiles if you have large BGAs and other such components, which require at least 7 heated zones), then you have size, required l

Also we get data from customers in all forms, and sometimes, just sometimes it doesn't match the current iteration of board, and when you have 600 passives with a combined value $1.50 it can save a huge amount of money & time trying to trace the prob
