Hi It is best to fit the VGA camera for 0201 parts make sure your software is high enough..above v1.33 although you can place without but no so good. 0.4mm tapered nozzles are best. 0201 feeder the locator base in increased by aprox 0.3mm and the ind

Senior, below, is correct. THe narrow view camera has to be upgraded in order to place 0201 components. Also to pick the parts you need the 0201 feeders. These feeders present the part 0.3 mm higher than the standard 0402 feeder. The part pickup heig

Poor reading skills......that being said, with good resolution (3 megapixel and up) digital cameras so readily available, and cheap, why not use real pictures? After all, a picture's worth a thousand words... In the '90s, I used to translate CAD/Ge

In that case the same tools can apply, just different implementation. We might use any a number of visual aids for an assembly, one for each component type (resisors, capacitors, ICs, etc.). In the case you're describing we might color code the lo

Our people have EXCELLENT reading skills, and for some stuff I do have a list of the order to assemble the parts, with some tricks, etc. called out. But, a color-coded assembly drawing is what we use the most. I use Sharpie markers to color-code th

There are different options for de-paneling routers. There are two basic types, in-line and stand-alone. Do you need in-line for high volume? The stand-alone systems have manual insertion trays, one or two trays. Also, after de-paneling or laser ma

While it's possible, we don't think that soldering a wire of this low of an AWG to a board is a good idea. We're concerned that mechanical vibration and heating / cooling will stress the solder connection to the point of failure during routine table

What happens as solder paste is used when it becomes un-usable? Does it dry out due to flux evaporation or does it absorb to much moisture from the air which changes its composition too much? Now for the big question. I had an operator add flux to t

Let me clarify we throw out used paste after a week not the whole jar. Jars get used up every other day or so. We don't really have a procedure for used paste on the do's and don'ts so I'm in the process of creating one to avoid people adding flux t

You are playing with fire; you evaluate and specify paste for your products/SMT line, when you start adding tacky flux or whatever to your paste you don't really know what you are then dealing with - it osn't what you evaluated. We use solder paste f
