The two factories I've worked at that ran Radial Lead inserter/sequencers were both building their own products and we were able to specify our own panelization guidelines. One-half inch rectangular frame on all boards. Our universal workboard hold

What's sad is, it really happened. I won't bore you with the details again. ;) Lloyd, I would love to have a nice Hi Scope too (I think Cchunks works for one of those big champagne and caviar corporate entities ;)) but if you can't swing it, at leas

I think Darron drove that DHVCD off'n a tall cliff. There's a whole bunch of stuff that could cause no-cuts, but without more information (dings on leads, full insertion, dry-run performance, continuity checking results) we'd all be (and have been)

Another thing to make sure of and the vision calibration system will fail if this is out of range: Use a magnet foot stand micrometer and measure the spindle run outs. First remove the nozzles and nozzle adapters, then put the adjustable tip (I dont

Hussman, I'm sorry that I was a little bit tired and on top of that not so sensitive to your humour. Not so easy to understand everything for us Swedish guys. We have normally a great sense of humour over here and almost daily we have a big laughs a
