Of course, if the number of required component codes ( = feeders) is not very great, you might want to look into odd-form assembly machines. With them you can insert a much greater range of components than just simple radial components and you can ge

We have been asked to provide the OEE on our SMT lines. Any examples of OEE reports that I have looked seem to be from OEM or high volume production lines. Our SMT area is high mix - high changeover. We also run prototypes and start-ups through the

Hi Chrissie, BGA Rework from one CM's view: 10% process problem (printing, reflow, voids, etc) 10% component failure (no other problem found) 80% "The board does not work therefore it must be the BGA" This, of course, is exaggerated. My point bein

Amy, One way you can drastically lower the peak temperature of your QFP and prevent it from re-melting is to lower the solder pot temperature. If you're running 63/37 in your pot, the typical range for these is 460�F to around 500�F. You will need

Alot of QM's and QE's are typically failed Engineers who lack common sense. They don't understand that measuring in DPMO's (versus DPU's) "normalizes" your data for Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA's) so that if you have 10 defects on a PCBA t

Dave, I've seen some instances of solder as you mentioned "painted" over the joint. Almost looks like a seam between the added solder and the originally waved on solder. Typically, I've seen that in the past from an incomplete solder joint. One w

We assemble for a customer that is having an inconsistent low level analog interference we believe with the no clean flux residue from Alphas OM5100 solder paste. We are considering testing Amtechs 4300 water washable no clean paste. We will test bot
