Cracked parts close to the edge on pizza cutters are a common problem. There are a lot of stresses on the board as the blade cuts through the board. Raising the blade height so that the boards are not cut clean through will help. You will have to fi

Your kinda vague on your description, How many components per hour, how many circuits per a day, week, month? what kinds and size of parts.? For a PNP setup for smt boards you will need a stencil printer(possibly manual or full auto like a DEK, 1 o

I know what you mean but have never found a tool that would do this sufficiently. For higher value parts you should keep them in a bag for the next time you run a job that uses that part and hand fit them. The nature of the feeders means that you w

I`m now doing my major project related to Automated surface cleaning for PCB after I found out there`s a lot of problem with rejected PCBs, which is almost of them caused by the contamination from the materials itself. After trying a few solutions by

JimnHky is pretty much spot on. We have a high mix low volume line of products (most anyways). We have experimented with lean quite a bit, and have achieved single piece flow on our most voluminous product. In fact, this is where I would recommend

We use both the blue static dissipative and black conductive ESD totes to store/transport our electronic assemblies. Our problem is that they get dusty/dirty and periodically need to be cleaned using ESD cleaner and a paper towel. Being that human na

Good morning everyone, We're whipping our maintenance into shape. For starters, we've acquired the proper lubricants for our Fuji machines. Most of the lubricants (AFC, LRL-3, Daphne EP2) come in accordion/bellows style grease tubes. This isn't a p

We have the same issues with QFN's on reels being cost prohibitive, so we also have to deal with tubes. We have had some luck with using a modified tube ran down (almost to the pick position) the channel of a belt feeder, assuming the QFN tube/channe
