Wow, I cut first cut my teeth in the Industrial motor control industry. My 1st company made motor control products like variable speed drives, solid state overload relays, soft starts, etc. and in our shop, we used nothing BUT Dow Corning silicone p

Agilent SP50 rocks for continuous improvement and pass-fail efforts. You'll see variation you never imagined you had prior. But be aware you absolutely have to monitor data and tweak your processes to improve results. Do not jump in and try and use

The continuing saga - we got the IP-1 communicating with the MCS16 again by replacing a couple of chips on the VME1152 CPU board and now it's working again but have a new problem. The machine stops about every other time when changing nozzles with a

Looks good at first glance. Couple of questions, though: Time Above _____. Fill in the blank. Is Liquidous 183C (Tin-Lead) or 217C to 220C (Lead Free)? The "soak" of 150-190, at 0.6*C per second ramp up looks good, weather it's lead or lead-free

Thanks for the data. That looks like the numbers I've seen, but the machine I have bid on (gulp) is an 84 with no suffix. I doubt that changes the dimensions, though. But, what I am trying to find out is if covers and panels can be removed to thin

Every component has a "how to order" paragraph in their data sheet with specific suffixes,letter/digit combinations that reflect each parameter of that part including packaging, lead finish etc. So if you order using the manufacturer p/n you are alm

Mark, How about a "line booster" such as the Universal AdVantis AC30L? The Lightning head provides a huge boost in throughput for your existing line, while also adding to the component range. One solution is to put it in the middle of a line to retur

If you need part tracking and lot tracking your decision may be made for you. I believe the Universal equimpment has complete traceability, it is an option. You scan a reel each time you load it onto a feeder and it can track what parts from which re
