Sounds like your PCBs are now white tin. Change this to another roHS compliant finish and see if prob goes away. You must get control of the materials that you are being asked to build. Your Customer needs your advice on surface finishes, they sho

Actually I think the cyclical nature of the business does not fit Dovers model very well. They sold a number of companies from thier portfolio. The new owners are supposed to make some significant investments in Universal so it may very well be a goo

I was told that someone at UIC had (mistakenly) thought it was a good idea to get more done in China. I was also told that Dover would not sell to another machine manufacturer because that would probably mean the end of UIC. I think that is good of
