Doesn't exist. True Solder Paste dispensing is a Mycronic only solution with Essemtec coming behind with slightly less cpapbility. With Essemtec you can have one machine that prints and places, that saves space, with Panansonic you can have machines

We are using EKRA E5 and X5. Both of them are rock-solid and easy-to-use machines. Software of these EKRAs are really user-friendly. If you make the yearly maintenance and preventive maintenance they will work for years. I know a factory where are ar

I don't recall thicknesses off the top of my head but brittleness becomes an issue more for gold plating then ENIG. .125 um should be fine. also, gold ain't cheap so its unlikely your PCB fab will get anywhere near the max tolerance. On the other e

We currently are using the HIPPO system. It is a nice program. It's cloud based so nothing is stored on sight. This was helpful when my computer crashed. You can add an immense amount of information into the system. If you can think it you can enter

Hi, We are producing a board that contains an RN4678 bluetooth module, and an STLINK-V3MODS module, both of which are castellated modules. I am constantly having issues with the modules being soldered to the PCB incorrectly. It seems that the RN4678
