Ya know a little clear RTV around the feet of your conveyors will keep them from moving when Bubba the Quality Director needs to take a load off and leans against it. And if you ever need to move them later, just cut around the base with a box cutter

We are also having some issues with certain small parts. In our case this is tantalum caps and 0402 caps. We had a vendor admit after much discussion that the plating used from a particular orgin was different on the tantalums. The tehory is thatthsi

Interesting - We're using the same AIM products as you. On the lead free, 353, did you start out with it or did you try the WS485? That was the 1st product recommendation we got from AIM and we found that the lot to lot consistency was not good. T

Does anybody know anything about a company called CR Technology. We have a machine made by them, called CRX-1000, and I have even found a listing for this machine on this site. The thing is, I can not for the life of me find a legitmate website for t

The rep from the EPA told our director of operations that it can not be faught. Apparently he was really rude and basically said (with his team of over paid lawyers there of course) that the one company that tried to fight one of these fines ended up
