Hi Piet, We looked into this too at some length (we do a lot of FPGA and 16 & 32 bit micro designs) and every semi auto machine we checked out was to be fair, crap. Especially on the number & type of devices you could sucessfully handle, set up & a

I'd appreciate your support in the following issue: A significant batch of PCBs failed on de-lamination. The failure was identified, of course, only after the assembly. There is a big variety of components (BGA 1mm, BGA 0.8 mm, FQPs and other SMT co

Yes, Hand Up here. I would think you would have a quality problem. I am assuming you're doing this process in some sort of batch mode. I would hope that you can process your boards within a few minutes after components being placed. Things that I

OK - going to set up some measurements so we can see how big this problem is. I've got the following so far... Number of boards pasted per employee per shift Number of hand placed parts per employee per shift Number of people per shift Time pasting

Jeremy, well said! Thanks for "validating" my theory... LOL I agree that the sampling frequency, AND methodology are key things with 3D inspection. 3D will give you some insight onto how your paste (rheology, viscosity, thixotropy)AND process are

For what it is worth, we are purchasing a dispensing system including a Robotic Arm, Positive Displacement Valve (as opposed to volumetric displacement) and Controller. We have purchased this unit for doing lead free 20 mil dots at 30 mil pitch in s

Jim: I have limited knowledge, but here's what I know: 1. Yes, it's a standard process. In today's SMTNet, it's rarely mentioned, and few people reply to postings. 2. Nope. It's a "specialty" piece of equipment for most CEM's. Depending on you

OH! He he, St. Louis! I have recently acquired a very good P&P machine, and am in the St. Louis area. I got the machine primarily for my own manufacturing, but there is plenty of time available on the machine. If you'd like to see how the process

Well, I don't know if you want to muck around this much, but I bought a GE (Chinese made, of course) toaster oven with convection fan. Nice big glass door in front, you can use it in bake, broil, toast or convection oven mode. The only thing missin
