A quick question(s) to anyone who operates SMT lines with only one multi purpose flex machine (P&P). What is an ample feeder count for this machine?...and secondly, do you have a standard kit of common parts that you would wish to reside permanantly

The permeability of polyamide film (Kapton) is 54 g/sq m/mil/day and the total absorption is 2.8 wt%. The absorption rate changes rapidly over time with a large percentage occurring in the first 5 minutes and nearly reaching completion in 30 min to

Even when you run a board several times, the machine may not make the same travel path every time. This in itself does not create a problem, but the vacuum on the nozzles could be different, dependent on the configuration of components on the heads.

The gel looks strangely like the stuff coming out of the rear end of little rubber toy pigs I bought for $1. You squeeze the pig and the gel comes out of it's ass, release the pressure and it goes back in... hours of fun! But seriously, this gel must

You will need to set the contact and squeegee zero calibration every time you set up a new product, we do this because the thickness of the substrate (pcb) can change between product and this will effect these calibration settings. The machine does n

Hi Dave, 3M� Spray 75 Repositionable 500 ml was the last we used due to a bright spark in purchasing, but production didn't get on with it too well. The only one that really gives us good consistant performance was the original 400ml Spraymount a

We are building seven different assemblies that have flex circuitry that go off in four different directions within the panel. The panels are square to facilitate flow through smt & wave solder and depanilized in solder touchup. Currently, we are usi

We are using the Red-E Sets on our DEK Infinities and they are working fairly well. There are some issues but the setup time beat the Form Flex and was more reliable than the Autoflex in our machines. We looked at Grid Lock. This seemed to solve all

Did you like the FormFlex tooling as far as support goes? I would be more inclined to spend the set up time if we got better support. As of now we have about 30min, between runs so the set up time isn�t as important as the cost and the support is. We

Hi Grant, You say your design are increasingly using more passives. Do you mean you're using more and more components per board or is it only the ratio passives/IC's that is shifting? And are you also increasing volume or is it just the component-co
