We are high mix low volume company and we use a MYDATA TP9. Very good machine that can place 0402's effectively. Issues we've had include: Maintenance - It is an older machine so, it has needed a little more than I care for. Cost of Feeders and Maga

Hi, I think we would get a jam up every hundred parts or so, and it's worse in cover tape that's glued down. The problem is the Agillis feeders push the cover tape to the side, which works ok on 8mm tapes, but on wider 12 and 16 mm tapes it's a nigh

HI Brad, I'd stick with QUAD, I believe they are no longer known as quad. It's what you know, a different brand would mean learning it and the time to do so. I've never seen any problem with QUAD, that could not be resolved. The C series is kinda ol

I have an issue where our production team has ran the wrong reflow profile on a no lead product where Indium NC SMQ-230 no lead paste has been used. You can still see the grains of solder after reflow. What I am look for is if anyone has any recomm

Regarding the reference (Patrick) to a previous thread promoting �no-residue� fluxes, I must say that there is absolutely no such thing as �No-Residue� flux. There are �Low-Residue� fluxes and even �Very-Low� residue fluxes but to suggest that there

Hi All I work for the supplier mentioned above and just want to pass along some info. OmniFlo ovens use to have timers. They were located at in the electrical box and not in the software but a "mechanical" timer. These were removed from the ove

Good info, thanks for passing along. The company I work for (equipment supplier) ran some tests with lead free material in air and N2 environements for reflow. In the air reflow environement it was noticed that the material does not spread, much li

Jay, Yes, we did assigned new part numbers for our lead free components. Our concern was how do we know that this component is lead free. New part numbers was our only way. It made the component engineers cry, but offer them a box of Krispy Kreames

Hi Jay, Concerning you PCB, what TG do you expect to use for your lead free process? On my side I have a problem. I order PCB from Canada and from China. My PCB vendor in china is producing a lot of OSP and ENIG PCB, no HASL lead free and in Cana

I looked breafly at this alloy. My concern was that I had already implemented a SAC 305 alloy at SMT. So any of my mixed technology projects would one alloy (SAC 305) on one side (topside) and a different alloy (SN100C) on the bottomside. Most articl
