Wow! What a thread! Emotions are running high. I will try to be less offensive. There should be a relationship between the vendor and customer, if not, there will be tension and disagreement. The goal, from my humble opinion is, "we" have to ins

The boards are expensive because they are your product... covered in circuitry. A 2% scrap rate costs twice as much as a 1% scrap rate. Say the parts on your consumer electronics board cost $5. A machine that makes 99% good boards and 1% bad boards

I'm very sorry I did not see this reply earlier. It's been almost a month and I hope you get to read this! I really like your idea of a *personal* electronic circuit factory. You should try getting schools to buy it, because students will love the o

Hi All.. I need your advice, when you send your boards to be analized by external lab, what kind of result would you expect from them? Do you expect them to find the root cause of the problem and give countermeasure of the problem? (this is what I e

could always use a potato? http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=9994&#Message56920 But seriously.. best idea is to stay away from any metal as the tin will likely dissolve and contaminate your solder pot.

On average there are about 3 parts per board that get hand placed (x24 is 72 parts per panel). One of these parts is a big 1W resistor that cannot fit on our axial machine. We also have a Zener Diode that needs to be hand placed because its leads are

I'm in a manufacturing environment with a very high mix of boards, and some low-mid volume. A "large" production run might consist of 100 boards. Volume: There are numerous boards that have a volume of 1-3 pieces. There are a few boards with an annua
