Cost to mark them. Some of the cap manufactures do not have the equipment to do it. They have older lines and to retrofit them is cost prohibitive. A lot of OEMs do not want the values of everything on the boards so they are harder to reverse enginee

Hi ENIAC That table is part of a mush bigger article I was putting together, and will post somewhere at this website soon, as a one stop complete information. The hold up was Electrolytics and Tantalums code is different but there is no way to t

We have 2 ACE machines running 2 shifts per day, 6 days a week. Maintenance costs have been minimal. Performance very consistent. Great machines for the $$. Certainly not complex. Hence the K.I.S.S. logo. I don't have any experience with the "big

I've got four KISS 103s. If you keep up with the pump cleaning and especially keep your nozzles clean on the Lead Free, they are great. The only downside with them is that they are West Coast and we are East Coast, so if I have an issue first thing

'hege I agree with you 1000%. I wouldn't be at all be surprised if the previous poster was a used equipment broker. And I'd bet $$$ to Doughnuts that he's got a few used, high end, German built machines lying around that he wouldn't mind unloading.

So how does this (lead free paste Sn42/Bi58) solder compare with the Sn-Ag-Cu (Tin-Silver-Copper) combination which does not flow as well (in the oven), needs higher oven temperature, (that can be adjusted by reducing the oven chain speed) and cost m

Multiple process and rework thermal cycles are brutal on boards and components. Improving reliability of products through reducing thermal stress ends-up being a major driver to the interest in lower MP LF solders. Binary LF solders require the addit

Maybe this piece of information will help. In China (just returned from visit) there are many factories that are using a dual temperature process using SAC305 or Sn100C and 42/58. Apparently this allows them to run their through hole parts through re

Rather than a catalogue af all the machines and their specs, you might start by defining what YOUR requirements are... some machines are better suited for low mix, high throughput, some better suited for low volume, high changeover rate. Ask yoursel

Hi, After you define what Hegemon sudgested, and you build your matrix you should still evaluate the machines inhouse if you can or at the manufacturers side. For me the most important parameter on a machine is the changeover time. Some machines you
