Just to comment on the quad equipment side......The QSA-30 is also obsolete but you can use the same feeders on it as the 4c. The setup time would be the same but the speed is quicker (i think around 10k cph). If I were in your shoes....i think i wou

Dave, I have never even seen black pad - even in my subby days. As my wife says whenever I find a good parking spot: "Lucky Darby and his beautiful wife!" This is particularly so if we go to Watto�s - www.sydneypubguide.net/pubs/Watsons_Bay_Hotel_(D

Hi SWAG, Hi CL, I've seen the BGA Kapton things, I believe we'll go in that direction as well. I agree with you too CL. Depending on the product, I either have issues or no issues. That's why I was posting here, just to see if it was me (as I a

Cmiller is correct are not going to find a better machine for the price. Also I have used several different AOI platforms and the Yestech is hands down the easiest to program. Keep in mind that changing platforms is expensive. Operators, programmer

Stephen- I'm curious about your statement regarding someone mistakenly thinking it would be a good idea to get more done in China. I fail to see the mistake in such an approach. Consider if DEK or MPM felt that way a few years ago. They would both

Check for coplaner leads if this just exists at reflow process, i.e. look at part before oven, turn on 3D at placement machine. If you see after wave solder, the wave could cause coplanarity issues on top as well if you are going slow enough to refl

You are as close as you can be to verified... my 95% being an understatement... In a world (and a machine) where there are no absolutes... it's as good as it gets. I can't offer absolutes... without going over things that I might consider obvious bu

Cost will first and foremost be your deciding factor here. Cant go wrong with Electrovert or Soltec. TD has some decent stuff. As far as beoing comaptible, most all mfgrs are now making only pbfree comapatible. it seems to cost about $8 - 12k to

The low cost option would be to buy an old Electrovert with a spray fluxer & fill with SN100C. Saves cost of conversion, and you can pick up old, decent machines very cheap. Talk to whoever sells SN100C where you are in the world and go see some cus

Hi, you want something that will not break down, and something not American then. I would look at the Fuji XP-143E (if you are not going bigger than 20mm x 20mm) or the Juki then. Also I would look at what they are predominately using in Turkey, as
