Currently in house were using circuit cam for our programming (we run mydata hence mycam). When were programming were also creating keycards for SMT,SMT inspection, thru hole and thru hole inspection. Sometimes with heavily populated boards, 2000-25

1. What part of the time is spent Creating Visual Aids? Unless you are digitizing the gerber files for everything, why would you have to modify/re-label the referance designator info? (Part#-Ref.ID is color coded) If you are digitizing th

Dear all, I am one of the founders of a small company doing electronics design + embedded software. Currently our prototypes are using increasingly complex smd components. When we started we mostly used atmel cpus, but now we are starting to use fpg

QE's are the guys that sit in meetings asking the process guys --- "Uhhmmmm....my pie chart here says that we have 11 solder shorts on U1 for the week. WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?" Unfortunately, most QE's dress nice, are tall, have gelled slic

Okay, now we can get rolling here. Here is a couple of things about selective wave that Ihave found very helpful 1. Make sure that no parts on back side are in excess of .15". if they are we skip; out in SMT and handsolder if labor costs justify.

Oven settings are meaningless here. What does the board see? It is the paste we are concerned about not what the heaters are running at hehe. These solder balls are at the end of pad, which end? under the part or away from the part. I believe you

We are constantly messing around with easy ways to transport double sided boards through reflow. (Boards that cannot ride on the chain fingers for any number of reasons). We've got some fancy Durostone carriers that work awesome but are product spe

I would try to panelize as big as you can for sure as you'll spend more time handling single boards than running anything. Additionally, this size is very close to smallest capabilities on GSM depending on your configuration. Fids on all boards in

I am looking for advice on purchasing a Pb-Free Wave Solder System. No salespeople or wavemaster larry please. We are a small company with limited resources for evaluating equipment. I am hoping to get some sage advice from the experts here at SMT
