How would you like to have this guy evaluate your reflow profile? It was in response to an auditor who require someone they had monitor temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celcius. What a geek Don't put him on the spot. That is not a good thing to

Yes, that is the unit I have tried (or as you say, a convincing copy). Sorry aj, some months ago on this thread you asked where I was based and the answer is Nottingham, England. I only check this site once every few months and it has been a busy

Hello Lou, As a high-mix low-to-mid volume manufacturer, you will need to concentrate on equipment that may be progammed very easily, with very quick debug time from assembly to assembly. I have worked with Agilent in the past, and one of my collea

Our first pass yield across all our products is above 95% but we include anything that does not meet IPC standards. Probably 75% of our failures are not electrical. AOI is a great tool to get a consistent measure of your process. I dont know how anyo
