Hello all, I am looking for a general opinion on splicing tapes. It has always been my opinion that splicing was an after thought for the machines that did not allow feeder removal and replacement during machine operation. If the machine has the ab

Hello Rob, We have reel hangers on our feeders as opposed to "buckets". The reels cannot be removed while the feeder is mounted to the machine. Thus splicing is not currently an option. As mentioned above, we felt that it is easier to remove the f

Not all splicing tapes require the use of specialist tooling or splicing plates to make a join. Please see wwww.fujismt.com where a complete range of SMT splicing tapes (Joint Tapes) can be found for use with chip mounters such as Assembleon, Europla

Dear Greg and PWH, I see from your comments above, that you are still unsure whether splicing is for you, and mention that you have yet to find a "good splice tool." QTEK Manufacturing Ltd. based in Ireland, Mexico and Hungary provide a unique tool

IPC-7525 tells you how to make stencil apertures for BGA IPC-7095 tells you how much should be the paste volume in order to get a reliable BGA solder joint. How are your PCB finisced? (HASL, ENIG, OSP, etc?) In case of not HASL, it could be necessa

It's me again I post it before complete the message. Let me start once again. I plan, schedule and deliver SMT production programs for HMLV plant(app 1200 Assemblies). The kind of floor loading I have here is works great for SMT only. I'm considering

We've had parts jump off pads on occasion due to panels or boards that are restricted in a carrier during reflow. The boards/panels expand and the restriction causes them to warp thus popping parts around during cool down. Doesn't sound like your p

I am going to agree with Rob a little. It is also possible that a internal ground plane might be under or connected to the pads of this cap thus causing a increase in temp to this part during reflow. This can cause parts on occasion to jump from the

Hi Gavin, Depends on what MSD class, but in general for the more sensitive parts if they've been opened & not used within the time limit it's rebake, add dessicant & seal. Our distribution side splits them down into more manageable/production size

Does anyone have experience using a shuttle on a GSM platform? I'm just wondering how well it works and how reliable and trouble free the component picks are. I am looking to run a low volume line with a printer/oven and a GSM1 platform with a PTF
