We're not sure what you mean by temperature sensitive components. From an assembly process stand-point, every component we use is temperature sensitive to one level or another. More specifically, some of our products use polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

What exactly was the motivation to migrate to 5 separate (but equal) part numbers? Am I to understand that you had (for example) a chip resistor of given specs under p/n "xyz123", used on 5 separate customers assemblies and now you have isolated tha

Hi All: Thanks for the feedback. I've did a lot of surfing for more info and found there are pro's and con's to each side. One side with the customer P/N your customer service doesn't have to worry if the others bump their builds ahead of your an

Hi, It's both really, and we are doing higher volume of current products, but new products are increasing in component count, mostly passives. We have analog on our products, and this uses a lot of passives, plus each semiconductor needs decoupling

Rob, I also appreciate the banter. It is good to have these discussions with end users in a (hopefully) non sales environment. Philips actually started building Pick and Place machines in 1980 for high volume accounts. They started out because th

Hi I do not expect that anyone will provide you with schematic s for the board itself as providing detailed info on the boards was regarded as a no no when I was working for SMTech/Speedline SMTech. We do not ourselves have detailed schematics but

Hi, Yes MYDATA vibration feeders are a nightmare, but you might want to check the feeder. We had one that would vary a lot, and it never seemed to be able to be set to the right vibration level for consistent feeding. It turned out to have a problem

I agree with Steven. I have been involved with AOI for over 18 years. I was first introduced to it when I worked for Solectron. The AOI machines back then were more or less used as a selling item and very cumbersome to use. I have used and or operate

Hi, Sorry for getting a little off the original thread topic here, and we should do this offline. We found there is quite a difference running a few boards to running hundreds per day with about 100,000 placements per day. That's what we ended up d
