Vapor phase versus forced convection

Electronics Forum | Wed Aug 18 00:53:16 EDT 2004 | Grant

Hi, I think you cannot go wrong with Convection. If you want to experiment with VP, just get some of the fluid and put it into a pasta cooker on a standard domestic hot plate. Have a basin full of cold water so after reflow you can lift the cooker a

There is so much confusion about this cognex not reconized statement, and it's time to step in. The box on the out side is a cognex 2000 system. The reason for the cognex not reconized statement is very simple. MPM wrote the 4.1y software looking

This is highly dependent upon your board, vision inspection, part rotation, part type, layout, number of P/Ns per (1 pers or 100 pers) feeder layout, optimization, nozzle changes, etc... all have significant impact on placement speed. I find if you

Greetings from the UK: I have been quite fortunate to lead (no pun intended) our company towards lead free sooner rater than later. One of our customers produces a product which is refurbushed every 6 months or so and sent back into the market. A

large bga (55mmx44mm) capable placement machines?

Electronics Forum | Fri Sep 10 09:00:40 EDT 2004 | rlackey

Hi, It should get you at least a 1997 machine, but the age isn't as critical as the UPS level - you want at least 3.2.3. They are good machines & are well built, and at least comparable with any other second user machines (although not in the Fuji/

Question about solder masking BGA vias...

Electronics Forum | Sat Sep 18 12:10:19 EDT 2004 | Steve Gregory

I have a question about solder masking via's in a BGA pattern, and want to see if I'm thinking correctly about this. This problem is kind of along the same line as Carol's problem earlier. I think it's a bad idea to leave the via's free from solder

About temperature sensitive component

Electronics Forum | Fri Sep 24 11:08:13 EDT 2004 | davef

We're not sure what you mean by temperature sensitive components. From an assembly process stand-point, every component we use is temperature sensitive to one level or another. More specifically, some of our products use polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

Hi All: Thanks for the feedback. I've did a lot of surfing for more info and found there are pro's and con's to each side. One side with the customer P/N your customer service doesn't have to worry if the others bump their builds ahead of your an

Manufacturing in China, Revisited

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 12 11:32:22 EDT 2004 | fastek

Stefen- When looking at it from your perspective only it makes no sense to off-shore. The machines and operators are but a small part that goes into the decision to move overseas. The bigger picture is the fact the "entire" operation gets outsourced.
