We do the same, once you kill the power you lose your air circulation. I'm assuming it's not too good for the oven to have all that heat not moving.

waste of time - get your materials manager to work on the smt floor for a week and see how ridiculous this approach is! saving pennies while adding time between setups, looking for parts and as you said issues with pickup etc....

Teaching trays (considering you already have the package in your library) takes about 2 mins. Really comes in handy for small batches when ICs/BGAs are supplied in small strips.

Seems like this is a common theme. It was always an uphill battle with management to get them to understand small strips costs us more time which in turn costs more money. Our management never got it so we had to think of ways around it.

From my past experience, of those 5 I would go with Mirtec. Easy programming, and great support. A pretty well thought out package for the $$ I have no affiliation with, nor receive any benefit from any company mentioned above. 'hege

Go with YesTech. They are tried and true. I have been using them for years. Top notch company all around.
