Reno- I also agree. Education and Introduction to SMT are issues we deal with on a daily basis. We have Three level of automated assembly equpiment that we use for prototyping, training, production, and R&D. We can set you up in our facility to run y

Hello Eva. I was using Fujicam 1.1 and i had a problem with the theta is in the shape library for example all the drawings are on 0 degress like a in the part data and all that work fine with the anothers machines like a cp6, but when i use a ip2 i m

John, Depends on what you're cleaning (paste, adhesive, ink, etc..) and your process (do operators just dump a dirty stencil in and expect a clean one out, drying time, effect on the polyester). I could suggest a couple of name brand cleaners, but I

Hello John, The biggest stumbling block is going to be taking these responses and applying them to your assembly process much the same as trying to make other manufacturers' defect levels apply to your process. Ultimately, the overall quality of yo

Congrats. You now control the source of almost 70% of the defects of your SMT operation. There is a neat series of presentations on printing, each year at SMI. One of the best of the SMI series was in 1997, because presenters used a common board

I have recently completed a HUGE screen-printing DOE. I used Taguchi methodology and man I got good results! Here is what I learned for what it's worth: (p.s. to the MPM apps guy I sent a copy to Tim Gillis, Lou Fuda, etc...) EFab vs. Laser: EFab

Steve, This is a good, well repeated, not identified by IPC yet issue. I, and some others in industry, for years have proven and recommended smaller pads for various devices. I, and some others in industry, use 0402 pads for 0603 device types. IPC o

Mark: The fact that these daughter boards have to be attached to the TSOP-footprints is what makes the thing difficult cause they will be greater than the original part. One could think that a LCC-design allows for proper routing. But when it comes t

Phil, I know it must be frustrating to try and weed through all of the hype that is put out by various stencil cleaner manufacturers. However, there is some impartial published data available. An article by Richard Clouthier (now with Photo Stenc

Mark: The best routing of test vias for BGAs is to keep them far away from the device. We route test pads for the outer two rows of balls and use vias as test pads for the inner rows of balls. Your bottom-side layout is fine. Yes, on the top-side
