Dreamsniper, Always remember your ace in the hole when it comes to equipment used in this industry; its complexity! CPK, PPK and various other cost studies are excellent ways to "communicate" to bean counters your situation with the particular mach

i am getting a lot of dimension variation in some chip parts (like coils). Using Panasonic MVII-F chip shooter, I am inspecting the part with transmissive lighting (back ligth)centering with the square shape of the part. I attempted to trick the mach

We're quoting out a new board design, and one of the prospective suppliers is pitching a silver coating process over hot air leveling. We haven't had experience with boards of this type, and I am concerned about any processing issues that may come u

We have what appears to be a recurring problem. On immersion gold boards only, we are having solderability problems. After reflow, selected parts can be popped right off the board. There is then a dark haze left on the pad. The paste on the compon

I work for a contract manufacture of PCB's, we are also in the BGA rework business. We see all kinds of different size boards, as well as different types of BGA's and micro BGA's. We selected the Conceptronics Freedom 2000 over the Air Vac and SRT. T

Also Jan, Don't you have to send your components through a filter program when transfering from a 4796 to a 4791 or vice versa. I know you have to do this when transfering a 4790 program to a 4791 because the speed data does not transfer correctly. I

The solder ball collapse is associated with overheating. Of coarse there's no problem taking it off, your nuking it. The problem, as your aware, is in the replacement. The machine your using is overdriving the process. The key to this repair is in

You seem to pretty far from shore to begin thinking about boats and floatation devices. Most laser trimmers are used by: * Semiconductor fabricators * Resistive component fabricators * Hybrid circuit assemblers Component fabricators and hybrid [

Dear Dave and Mike, I do not normally respond to threads of the forum. However, I do enjoy reading other's comments. There is a lot of valuable information provided by both suppliers and users. You seem to be making light of Bill Schreiber's com

Are your voids looking like blow holes also? Is this only occurring on the solder joints of the Thru Hole components and Via's? Or does this happen on SMD pads? My experience is that we have seen this but only with some of our older PCB's which are
