Dear Hegemon, I'm very grateful for your help. There is one more thing that I'd like to discuss with you. I'd like to know if there is any "verification board" or something like that to check if you really did a good job. At the company where I wo

THe software i am using at my company is cad2cad. I uploaded a working program and i was able to see the program. I thought it would just be a bunch of x,y coordinates, but it is more confusing than i thought. Does anyone have any idea where i can st

I've installed both (at different companies),currently a MPM 125 user. The DEK seemed slightly easier to program a new board. I guess it depends on which platform you're most familiar with. The Hawkeye inspection we had is fast to setup but doesn'

If at all possible buy parts with 3% min. lead on the terminations. If this is not an option, "mitigate" whatever the finish is. Typically this means tinning with 63/37 all the exposed lead, not just the solder joint area. Several companies can d

Hi Tony_D, thanks a lot for your answer! Yes I'd want to follow your advice, but Here in Italy I really don't find a Mirtec distributor yet. Also for me the defect coverage is a basic feature for the AOI and also in my company we have low volume high

I do a lot of thermal cycle testing of new components for my company and often when I lay out a test board I'm trying to simulate 4 or 6 layer boards but I don't need them for routing so I just use a solid fill of a cross-hatch pattern. I've done it
