We send parts out to be tape & reeled. We do not send all loose parts out to be tape & reeled. As you would expect, we base our decision on: * T&R service company lead time * Our production schedule * Cost benefit of T&R versus some other productio

Be careful on how you go about this. Some older wave chains will have anywhere from a bit to lot of lead embedded into the grease. Ive had best luck sending it out to a shop that can hot tank them. Costs about $25 and it comes back all clean and lube

Good Day, I worked on one of these years ago. The only problem I can remember is the feeder rack had some play in it. This meant we had to re-trim pick positions after changing a reel. Oh yeah, it cost us $470.00 for a new component nozzle. Kind of

Managing items and BOMs, even for a small company, should not be done on spreadsheets - they're single user, prone to error, and hard to manage. There are relatively low-cost, very functional systems on the market that enable management and revision

Hi Jon, Flip Chip is chosen as an interconnect approach when one needs improved performance (high pin count, high frequency, noise reduction or improved heat dissipation.Another driver is size...Flip Chip greatly reduces the area and therefore is cho

We are currently looking for a local source to perform in house, hands on training for PTH hand soldering and rework. The instruction must be hands on and cover from the basics of soldering through performing rework. We have investigated training thr

If your looking for a small footprint at lower cost a Zevetech 575 or Quad 4c should do a good job for you. If your boards get more complicated or you go down to fine pitch, 402's, BGA, you may need to look at a newer technology. We just went throug

Greg, you pointed out yourself the many advantages of bulk feeding. I would like to mention that the higher component accuracy and the feeding track accuracy of the bulk feeder contribute to an improved pick failure rate of small ( 0402�s ) component
