The EMPF has a great Paper regarding the Omega meter. www.empf.org (Click the Tech Pubs Icon) Here you will find a host of technical papers. These papers were relevant in their time but most have proved to be irrelevant in current day manufacturing.

We have had Corfin recommended to us, but have never needed to use them. Also consider: * EMPF uses a ROSA process for solder rejuvenation. Check with Cal [at Manncorp, a SMTnet regular] for the scoop [chocolate, vanilla, or ROCKY ROCOCO] on EMPF.

PETE - Since you are local to ACI/EMPF you can take a run over there and speak with Greg Parks,PhD on ROSA. His phone number is 610-362-1200 x 267 or email gparks@aciusa.org. This method is much better than the "re tinning". They can actually revert

Here are a few key points when concidering AOI. Programming and how easy is it. Also, I am not a big fan of gold board AOI. There are other ways (neural networking to name one)that are much more efficient. Can the system identify Characters? ca

From my understanding these China OEM machines are for very specific production with low flexibility. i.e. Smaller board sizes.....machines just for memory modules. With those examples they will beable to reduce conveyor sizes, linear motor sizes whi

Sam - If I owned Cal Driscoll Electronics and were looking for a rework system a few things I would consider: 1) Convection is key (IR as an under heater or pre heat is ok but not as the main heat source). 2)programming simple? User Friendly and easy

I don't think that anyone is saying we want to barr reps at all. I think the issue is that people get irritated when when certain reps work their sales shpeels into a forum response that does not warrant it.That's all. I value this site tremendously

Thank you, Cal. Indeed I can offer quality support and service on Siemens machines. For the current low prices of used machines, you may want to consider to buy more machines and compensate for down time. As a registered customer you pay $ 40,000 for
