Ernie: I'm guessing your question is a bit far a field for us. I�d guess that 70% of us are no-clean with the remainder focusing almost exclusively on cleaning printed circuit boards. So rather than limiting yourself with us, also consider forums a

A while ago I read an article about a machine that can pick up a bulk case and then place components out of it without having to travel to a feeder pick up position in between. I forgot where I read this and who the manufacturer was. Can anyone help

You are right, I am looking for a solution to place small components, 0603, 0805, 0402, and similar. The components will be fed by a vibratory feeder and placed onto trays. This is happening in the comp manufacturing stage and the trays are used as a

I forgot to mention the mass placement machine from Nitto. The Nitto machine places all components out of bulkfeeders. Plastic tubes are routed above the feeders pick position and into cavities of a template. The template is made for the pattern of t

Mark, I guess while your machine sits idle, it could do boards. While the machine processes boards it breaks down by a certain percentage rate. I would multiply the placement rate with the idle time, multiplied by uptime divided by hundred. 10.000 (

Jack, No need to get frustrated. There is not an optimization software made that will end up with a program that runs faster than doing the same program manually. There are too many ways to speed up production for the software to consider. Even if it

We have had nsome new products come in that require Bottom side wave soldering (SMT). I have SOIC's 1206, 0805 that are Glued then Wave soldered. I have had trouble with bridging and no-clean residue with these pcbs. I have a Econopak 2 SMT two zone

Ron, I too use a Nicolet NXR 1400i. By using the rotation fixture and offsetting the board, a good BGA solder joint will appear elongated. If you rotate the board away from you the wetted joint will appear to lighten and become flat (looking at the

Scott, I am a little confused, when you mention "silver thru hole vs. plated through hole what do you mean. A silver "immersion" type finish vs. HASL (Tin lead)on your PCB? Or are you talking about using silver solder to perform intrusive reflow of

1. Verify all the part had load to machine. Get ready for the profile. 2. Run the board with double side tape. Is better to run one board for each machine. 3. Verify all the placement ( missing, misalgnment,etc )and check the value using meter for a
