Hi All, I have a series of snap-in radial TH capacitors that I would like to place using a pick and place. Has anyone had any success using a universal platform machine? My thought is a custom vib feeder would present the parts just fine. Any feed

The product editor complains if I have a part that overhangs the edge of the board. Any hints on how to fix this? Set the "board" size bigger than the actual board and the use an offset to make it in the right place? Or is there a better way to say t

I'd be happy with it just checking if all the pads for placement are on the board. The software (GSM) seems to complain if any of the part is off the board. I got around it by just making the board larger. I'd also like it if it just had a button for

Dave, you are right you would expect the soldermask to be higher than all SMT pads on the pcb if it is higher on the fine pitch components, but the other areas of the board do not concern me as much as the fine pitch areas. The pads on all the other

I am looking for opinions on soldermask between the lands of fine pitch components =

Low-Medium volume and Low Budget are difficult for others to quantify. I'm not familiar with GEM's but if the AX-201 suggested above can use your existing feeders its obviously got a leg up on the competition. Otherwise, to some extent your choice mi

Placement is fine... There are other fine pitch components on the board which are fine. It is a 2up panel - one will be fine and the other might be shifted. Alternates between boards. aj...

Fine pitch parts are not the issue. Platic parts that absorb moisture are the issue. Search the fine SMTnet Archives to get started. Try: * MSD * Moisture sentive device * Dessicant cabinets * Baking times * 033 * 020 * etc

Can anyone guide me to what test do I need to be able to identify the strength of my fine pitch component solder joint? What value is available that I can use as a reference? Say 1.5 kg, 2.0 kg, 2.5 kg etc. I would like to have my fine pitch compone
