I got told from my quoting department that they know of one and it is Polydyne. They can not vouche for it but have heard good things. We do not use that here but some of the people here have used this at other facilities and said they liked it. ht

I've used a couple of different ERP packages in the past that claimed to do a little bit of everything. Typically, they did one thing really really well; and some other things, not so well. SAP or Oracle could probably give you a customized system

I am a CM, We do not use White tin either, we have had numerous solderability issues with this finish, We all agree when done correctly it is good, however I am at about 10% correct and 90% have issues. We currently use Immersion silver and Gold f

It's possible that your lead-free solder will stick to mounting bolts more than SnPb solder. Lead-free solder has a high tin content. Tin is a very good solvent. You may need to coat the bolts with a solder mask to prevent the solder from sticking.

Moisture barrier bags are polymer coated foil so are nearly gas impermeable. There's always some coating left at the weld (or it wouldn't stick) so they're not completely sealed but that's as good as it gets. Usually people use the vacuum to remove

Well put, MfgEng! Wave Solder did get lots of respect back in the day. It's a very scientifically-based process requiring knowledge of Thermodynamics, Physics, Chemistry, and Metallurgy, but at the same time, it's a very touchy-feely art form! At

Hi Bart, I would suggest MyData. They are good for protos because they are very flexible. You can use strips of parts with no leaders. This is huge unless your customer / company deals with nothing but full reels. You can even teach it to pick u

A My-9 which will hold 96 8mm will run you $150K. That's a refurbed unit directly from Mydata with feeders (magazines) and warrenty. I know because I recently priced one out. The Tp series is much cheaper in price but you sacrifice speed if that is

I was the "victim" of an old soltec wave too, along with their DOS-based piece-of-dung software. We have since replaced it. Generally, I find the European equipment makers very weak in the software department. Good examples are DEKs and Soltecs. A
