Volumes are not the only factor here. You might have low mix and low volume, but high complexity. Machine you pick based on the most challenging components you have to print/place/reflow. If boards are simple, than your level of expertise is importan

I agree with everyone here that says microphones are meant for no clean processes. Nothing will protect the device from an inline or batch wash. The mic should have been mounted on a different board if it must be washed. The one suggestion I have is

Before we purchased the printer capable of 1500mm stencils, we actually built a printer. We used a table top style where you squeegee by hand. Purchased longer tube stock and extended everything. It wasn't pretty and it wasn't fast, but it allowed

I hadn't suggested the IINEO's because as a step up from Neoden's its a huge leap in price and perhaps around twice the price of the AM100, that gap would narrow as you purchased even more feeders. If you have a big product mix or are a small batch

LarryK, It all depends upon your volume / problem. As Jax says, if this is a repeating problemo, get QA & Purchasing involved. Is it your stores ? Do they receive 100 off and "decant" 20 into a tube (manual handling error, training etc;). From your

Andy, I have been "evaluating" some AOI systems. However, some of these are actually SAOI (Semi Automatic Optical Inspection), which is not a problem if that is what fits your process and budget. You can buy a high end system complete with many cam

| Very shortly I will be evaluating OA flux and aqueous cleaning to replace our RMA and solvent cleaning process. I am primarily interested in batch aqueous cleaners for reasons of budget, floor space, etc. I am concerned about the ability of H2O t

I have had experience with both companies. If you are doing contract work and get you parts and boards in a box, the Mydata does a fine job of teaching a board on the machine. Quad's strengths are in their software and the ability to automatically

Rich, From my experience, few causes of capacitor cracking are: - mechanical stress caused by pick'n place nozzles and chucks. Try to isolate and find cracked caps before boards go thru reflow or wavsoldering. - thermal stress by reflow pro

Well, for some reason the board house will pay for the boards but has some issue with paying for the parts on them. Why am I not supprised? Perhaps I have mis-diagnosed the problem. We have found two different board p/n's with the same type of defec
