We recently acquired another machine and am faced with the same issue. We are a low volume/high mix company. I chose to run them in series so I can put the more common parts on the first machine and leave them there and put the parts that change from

I'd love for safety to be number one around here. I cringe a lot as I walk through our facility, I'm shocked by the things people do without the proper safety equipment. I always go and grab the equipment and bring it to the employee and explain, for

I have worked construction in both domestic and highrise in the last few years. Not wearing safety gear is an immediately sackable offense. It is not a bad way for it to be. Hard hats are always required on multi-story, steel capped boots are always

Usually an accident that was perfectly for-seeable, due to a breaking of the rules, or an injury exacerbated by not wearing the appropriate safety gear can kick people along to be sensible. A little pep talk along about doing the right thing after a

Juggalo, Your boss obviously hasn't thought about the implications of taking a complacent attitude toward safety can cost. He is liable if someone gets hurt working in his plant who isn't wearing the proper safety equipment or none at all. It does

We are using our selective solder machine to solder a backplane with sixteen (16) 4x48 pin 0.080" connectors. Our first pass yield is about 85% meaning that 85% of the connectors come out with no bridges. Not quite as fine pitch as your connector a

Thanks for the comments so far. The smallest nozzle I've tried is a 4mm, which is what Pillarhouse used on this board to provide a sample. I tried this but wasn't as good as the 6mm. I've soldered the same connectors on a different board using a 10mm

Glad to hear we have more Jade users on the forum! What kind of flux footprint is your fluxer leaving on the board? You called it a "spray" fluxer.. We use the MIC fluxer that functions like a jet fluxer. Do you flux each individual lead or do a

From the temps you list, I'm going to assume you are using leaded solder. What type of oven profile are you using: Ramp-Spike or Ramp-Soak-Spike? I think you will have better results if you use the Ramp-Soak-Spike type of oven profile. Better chan
