I had some of these before and they do a decent job. Laser alignment is ok for passive components. Compared to vision systems it has mainly disadvantages. If you have bended lead on IC for example, it wouldn;t catch it and it will place the part. I w

Most powerfull tool for PCB design - it's your brain, Richard. All others - just a auxiliary instruments. I have assembled a good project, which was designed in Paint (yes, I mean Microsoft Paint!), and, also, I have many examples of bad projects, wh

MSL rating is not tied to a specific package type/size. I have seen 2 components (ICs) have the same physical package but one was MSL-3 while the other was MSL-5. From my experience, while component manufacturers are not consistent as to where they

The GSM can place the part from a XY positioning standpoint without issue. You'll have to look at what camera you have to know if the machine can inspect it. After that you need to decide if your feeders can accurately provide the part to the machine

Rob, I know the things are not always as we like them :)....but people should understand that with the equipment you have you can't really work on 0201 jobs, so they shouldn't take any of these. I can design and build a helicopter, if I have the r

I knew jet printers where slower but I not that much slower. Right now I have a old Speedline Tech that Im looking to replace. Since Im new to this industry, Im cloudy on which companies make a good quality machine. I have a mydata pick and place, s

If you are just prototyping, I would probably go with the Jet printer(I think the paste cartridges are very expensive). If you have some casual runs I would use a stencil printer. Actually I would like to have them both - tweak the paste amount with

I can only speak for Mirtec, and no I am not affiliated with them at all. We have had a Mirtec AOI for at least 9 years. We have never had any major issues with it. There support is very good and usually they get right back with you if you cannot get
