Hi folks, thanks for all the tips. We have run our first batch of these flexi boards now. I had the PCB suppliers make me some 1.6mm FR4 carriers to lay the boards on to carry them through the process. (1 flat & 1 with cutouts for the second side)

We currently run two Quad IVC's (we are very pleased with them) and two Versatronics for simple small volume batch work. We now need an additional machine capable of placing components at least three times as quickly as a IVC. We don't do anything ve

Anyone have experience wave soldering rigid flex assemblies? I've just picked up a new job from a customer; it's a rebuild for the company, but new to me. The customer had previously taken their business elsewhere due to delamination problems with

Has anyone experienced a problem with conformal coating adhesion to IS-410 boards? We are having problems with one suppliers boards. IS-410 boards from other suppliers are fine and all FR-4 boards that I have looked at are fine. We are using Conap
