We know nothing about your process, but Kemet ceramic capacitors can be wave soldered. Kemet wrote papers on wave soldering their parts.

Hi davf Our process is the manufacturing burn-in-bord, SMT,insert sockets, wave and touch up. 1 board needs 0.1UF about 3k+ components.Kemet recommanded to use the reflow machine for Ceramic Cap when i chked its website.

Ok...Maybe there isn't such a place. I am suppossing that everyone purchases from the machine manufacturer. Does anyone know of a third party unit that work well? I would like to be able to get a unit that we allow us to calibrate our siemens and uni

Hi Namruht, One question, what exactly are you wanting to achieve using "feeder calibration? In what way would feeder calibration make these feeders (between Siemens and Universal) compatible? Or maybe i misunderstood your point .....

I know of Ambitec (Taiwan). They make feeder calibration jigs where the base is common for all types of feeders. You just need to replace the jig on the base depending on the feeders you're trying to calibrate. They provide base as well as jigs for m

"Is there any where to rent feeder calibration equipment?" I'm not sure, better buy a new one if you have more than 1000 feeders. For six months he paid for himself.

Is there ever a point in the life span of pick and place equipment when you can expect the machine NOT to be able to produce at a zero defect rate.

I do know that the machines will have the tendencies, but we have some older siemens equipment that is notorious for leaving off components. Getting upper management to understand that the machines aren't as capable as they used to be seems hopeless

The machine is intentionally leaving them off because its feeling an age bias? Or decides to drop them after vision on the way to placement, or...? What's the root cause? Just curious...

Have you tried replacing the LEDs in the illuminator? This is about the only 'wear' mechanism on a vision system, and should be pretty easy to fix.
