To Dave F. Thanks for your comments. I should point out that I am not well versed in SMT, I am more of a thick film and chip man. However I will look into your leads. I will try and find out more about the Quad equipment. I am very wary in getting

Looking at low cost reliable Mother-Daughter board interfaces. Looking at having the Mom w/ a routed out slot, like 1.7mm wide with solder lands on the bottom side then plugging in Daughter thru Mom's slot w/ the Daughter having board edge contacts t

I've noticed that after we have switched to Transition Automation blades on our MPM screen printers that the stencils seem to be wearing out faster and I see a wavy rippling effect across the length of the stencil thats impacted by the squeege blade.

What Snap-Off are you running ? I've seen this happen when a large negative Snap-Off is used. If you "contact" print (I.E. Zero Snap-Off) this tends to minimize the stencil coining. We use a mix of MPM & Transition Automation blades. I have noticed

Silly question, but, are TR blades 'exactly' the same size as MPM's and seat themselves in the holders just like MPM's? Also, different types of steel are harder (less flexable) than others. Are TR's the same? If harder (due to steel strength or coat

There appears to be less of a blade sticking out of the holder than the MPM set up. Thats something we noticed recently. We have our mechanical attack angle set at 0 degrees right now, but we are in the process of changing this setting by 5 degrees t

The joint IPC/JEDEC standard currently specifies a limit of one bake cycle, regardless of the temprature or duration. In the proposed revision this will be replaced by a maximum cumulative duration of 48 hours at 125C. The reason identified for thi

Hi, Have you checked your placements pre-reflow? The most typical cause of a billboard unlike tombstoning is a pick and place issue. Billboarding will usually happen with ( profile/bad pad layout and the most common just poor center placement. I'v
