"I have talked with their tech support at CircuitCam and they also indicate that the software does NOT support splitting large programs." I haven't used it but that's surprising. How does it handle a chip shooter next to a flexible placer? Is it jus

There is no standard for a strain gage measurement of allowable deflection of a board or a fixture. It's possible that your fixture is causing the BGA cracking that you see. What protion of the BGA is cracking? If it is the solder connection, sear

I think you answered your own question. Try a different lot or mfger of this part. You can prolly get a sample sent over nite and hand place them to verify. Trying to find out why these resistors "explode" when touched with a needle is like findin

You need to get yourself a copy of IPC 610. this has all the specs regrding placement and registration. chip aprts are allowed to have 50% side overhang. the fillet requirements are "evidence of wetted fillet" . I would not know if a cap being 51

We'd suggest using your connector supplier recommendations. Some use: * Pad Plating: 20-30 uin Au over 50 uin Ni (You might get away with less gold) * In-Pad Vias: less than half the diameter of the button (for contact-only configurations) * PCB/C

Most of pcb have white/black printing at bottom side of them to indicate the chip location. Normally, this printing are the same location to the place that glue will be mount. My problem are the glue size between the point that have printing and not

Mimot is another machine that is well suited for prototype runs. It's slower than a chip shooter and it is really a flex placer. You can keep a lot of fixed feeders and it is pretty easy to set up. Operator interface is excellent and programming i

I realize this is a bit off topic but looking at some of the discussion. I expect someone might be able to help. Looking at CP IV ball screws 120" and searched the world over for specs. Lead Outer Diameter TPI backlash resolution typical wear on c

Marcin, Think outside the box. If you are glueing the SMT part down, why not have an aperture cut in your stencil (or recut a stencil) between the SMT part and thru-hole. Wave solder hates SMT glue. This will get rid of your solder short problem

I would concur about clean room problems especially with a high mix changeover environment. Paper tape is horribly dusty and just the cover tape pulling away generates a lot of dust. There was a day when everyone said paper was on the way out for
