I our shopfloor, we are allowed to drink water. I think that if it is prohibited to drink water in Production, then there must be like short breaks so that one can go and drink water from the canteen. It is always a headache when it comes to decide s

Hi, We had quite a bit of problems when we allowed popcorn onto the shop floor, so we changed to M&M's but the problems persisted. We changed our operator feeding process over to KFC, and ever since there has been a dramatic improvement in productio

Lead free is not define as NO lead and "a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead shall be tolerated." Check below link. So replaced your solder from the pot when exceed 0.1%. http://www.leadfree.org/files

I have several memory devices that have 2% bismuth in the lead coating. Is this enough bismuth to be concerned over the formation of a low temperature SnPbBi alloy? What are the allowable limits for bismuth in an SnPb process for both SMT and through

Mike, To answer your question, Yes we have thru-hole parts on the boards that we converted to double-sided reflow, we use pallets to select solder the leads. I suppose Masking would work, but that's using a lot of mask. Can I ask, whats preventing

Pallets will not work in this case because the wonderful designers put 0402's between the legs and all around the legs of the thru-hole connectors. There are 18 thru-hole connectors on this board and 200 - 0402's around them. The 0603's that are al

- As Dave said American Competitiveness Institute is a good place to start with SMT process. they have Three lines geared to various manufacturing practicies. They also have a full compliment of inspection, x-ray, failure analysis, and rework. http:/
