We are a low to mid range manufacturer as well. I looked at several different vendors incuding; Mirtec, Viscom, Marantz, Omron, VI Tech, Orbotech and Yestech. We selected Mirtec. As a mid range manufacturer, one of my main concerns was quick and eas

I am looking to send a couple of employees to take some focused training in six sigma. It would more than likely be at the beginner level, overview to green belt. We are a smaller contract manufacturer and want to implement more use of six sigma me

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

Ok we have to admit that for some reason you went for the used machine, but the $6000 are worth it, I have 2 of the same machine without the NG marker, and in 4 years (the newest one ) and like 6 o more of the old one, there have not been a mech prob

In agreement, in that you should have already printed enough paste on the board to accomodate the joint. Adding paste would give the result you described. (too much solder) Adding a little flux (only) and heat would be the correct path out of that s

If they're 1 1/2 years old, they are definitely aged parts. Either send them back for newer or widen your tolerances on the ICT to compensate. You are at the 3rd decade now (10,000 hours) and you will need to compensate for this. These parts are n

We have inline reworkers, so this time has been factored in. We currently use Siemens S25/20 machines with M1 systems. The placement machines run a little slower than the AOI at times so there is time to perform review, most of the time. It's not

Thanks 'hege for the info. Have you seen a reduction in solder defects after switching from Air Reflow to N2 Reflow? I'm curious, because in my experience of over 20 years, working at five different companies, (Jabil being one of them), I've never u

Head and Pillow defects beneath a BGA are difficult to find, no matter what the equipment is on hand. Since you do not appear to have access to tools that would help you, or $$ to purchase said tools, I might recommend that you use an outside source

Hello, as we are talking about X-ray, I don't think you can do maintenance on your own unless you are specially trained in X-ray applications. Dage(we have Dage) offers maintenance as well as tube warranty but it not cheap. In terms of programming y
