The centering jaws are made out of copper, I believe...and conductive. I'd suggest that the conductivity of the copper makes it a fairly poor source of ESD damage in a component. I have observed physical damage to components from the centering jaws

No, guess I should have tried to explain it better. If I am trying to place a component at X-31.6 and Y52.8 What is the tolerance +/- that the machine will put it at that exact location. I know it's not going to place it at exactly that spot every

In switching to lead free processing, we find ourselves having over 400 PCB part numbers with Sn63 HASL finish. And there is no hope of quickly purging inventory and getting our drawings changed to call out a lead free finish. I want to avoid having

Per our selective solder provider, they recommend a PSA type generator to supply the needed 99.999% pure N2. The membrane type (which we have) does not provide the minimum (99.995%) purity necessary for lead free wave soldering. They happen to sell P

Thanks for your input Rob, Our operator does not profile pcb's which so far we have not had issues that could be attributed to his oven settings. We may be running a pcb with a BGA on it and I was concerned about our lack of profiling. I have spent q

Hi Bill, Thank you for your input. You've reassured me that I've made the right decision. As for Juki, the platform and footprint were not what I was looking for. Plus a demo I had with a Juki machine in the 90's went so wrong (it gave new definiti

Hello to everybody. Does someone have some experience or review in the past with roller tinning machines? I mean low cost machines with two rollers and a molten solder tank. The finished soldermasked PCB pass through the rollers (like a lamination)
