It does exist. We used to have one here, but sold it. It was more of a manual process though. You put the assembled board on the work table and then set your cutting blade height. Then you manually moved the cutting blade around shearing off the TH l

the information on "slide lines" in this forum sounds fine, but if you have to stuff 10 boards with 100 or more components a slide line is not very practical. We therefore have 1 worker do the whole board. I assume that others face the same task. Wh

We use a program called Circuitcam by Aegis. It allows you to import all types of Cad and associate the parts to the different processes. Ex. SMT, Radial, Inspection, Hand Insert. (Customizable depending on your process) Once this is complete it

Interesting thought. Among the many thoughts that came to mind while reading your post, one stands out for me. While making a cost effective machine is a great idea, it seems obvious that there will be some trade offs on quality. The cheaper the ma

Omid, Your best bet would be to obtain and read the various machine manuals for the equipment that you have. HOWEVER, "programming" the reflow oven, (otherwise known as profiling), is product and solder paste specific and will most likely NOT be cove

We don't build anything with BGA yet so don't have this standard but IPC-7095B, Design and Assembly Process Implementation for BGAs would be a good place to start. I don't know for a fact that it contains info. that applies specifically to your iss

I have been using Graphicode's GCpowerplace for years and have found it very easy to use. We are a contract manufacturer and I haven't yet run across gerber's that GCpowerplace couldn't read. The centroid extraction is very good and allows you to eas
