I'm just throwing this out there, but is anybody manufacturing large footprint flex circuit PCBs? (I'm talking assemblies 18-36" in length) We're in the midst of quoting a new opportunity that involves several flex circuits of this size. Currently o

Does anyone out there have experience soldering with Pb solder (Sn 63 or Sn 62) to SAC 305 coated PCB lands (about 50um) or Sn-Cu plated lands (about 10um). I know soldering Pb free (Sac based soler) to Pb/Sn coated lands is a no-no, but was waonderi

We've been using Vi machines for 6 years now and love them. For us they have been quick to program, good at optimizing, and excellent at low false fail rates. The vision tools also gave us more accurate component data. We had problems with high fa

I used Mirtec's 5 years ago. At this place we have Vi-techs. I can see why the people who recommend Vi-techs do so. They are good machines. However overall I would recommend the Mirtechs. They were faster and easier to program. And they were were a

I think machine selection depends upon your application (pitch, volume, changeover from pb to pb free etc...) I have experience with ERSA and Pillarhouse Jades. Both very good in their own right. Pillarhouse are relatively cheap, and quick to chan

Can anyone share some tips on cleaning pneumatic type feeders? Some feeders I have seem to be "lazy", unable to react fast enough to the the pickup heads. Someone told me to wash them in IPA, with no oiling at all, while somebody else advised to a

Hi all, We use the IMF converter (and a floppy disk) to move programs to and from the MCS30. The only way to get to the command line in the MCS30 is to reboot and do the ctrl+shift+_ ketpresses. I wanted to try to add an entry to the Fuji User inter

Eric, Protective sleeve? The sleeving protecting the wires of the thermocouples? I bought mine direct from Heller. I think it was $90 for a set of 3 (my oven uses 3 thermocouples). They are close to thirty feet long (I'm guessing...they're much
