Sounds like a plan. The usual way is to count how many you use on the job either by pre-calculation. Or how many clicks the machine counts and save the data before switch off, then drop it back into a spread sheet. This depends very much on the mach

Thanks to all of you that have replied and those that may eventually reply. We are feeling better now that you experts with many years of experience have not indicated that this is as common as ESD or Moisture Sensitivity Awareness to the point that

This may have been asked, but what ESD protection does your facility already have? With proper techniques and equipment, this should be a non-issue. As long as folks aren't using the pcb's to comb through their hair, you don't have to worry about i
