I agree with Peter. Trying to locate another supplier is your best option. If you still decide to do it in house, then I highly recommend you purchase new equipment as opposed to used. I say this and I am a used equipment dealer. Based on your lack o

I have performed many insourcing vs. outsourcing analyses. The following are the key issues that are normally evaluated: Cycle time requirements for product development and manufacturing Cost of manufacturing (in-house vs. subcontracted) Inve

Actually, I have found this thread interesting as well as lively, especially since I may soon be in a similar position. I have thru hole background, but my smt experience is mostly at the prototype level. Of course, I'm in a good position, John Stima

It's been years since I worked with a Fuji. I only once resorted to the undocumented part class 255 (or whatever they call it) and that was when I was working midnight shift. The smaller nozzle working better than the larger nozzle makes me wonder a

Hi Tony, as you might guess, a Nozzle Mfg. has stepped into this conversation. Having worked with many small, mid-size, and Fortune 500 companies for almost 15 years we have seen many "parts" pick up challenges. We were the first to offer "Complia

I guess no one at ECD reads this forum. They make a clip-on thermocouple prob. Where I used to work we had 3. At first I thought they were very awkward to set up. But once you practise a bit and get used to the right hand thread tightening screw

We have used a laser cut stencil 0.15mm (0.006") thick with 0.3mm (0.012") square apertures radiused in the corners 0.06mm (0.0025") to aid paste release. This approach with the (type 3) paste we use has proven successful on thousands of devices plac

What is happening is your bench supply is unable to supply enough current so the voltage drops. When you turn up the volume knob your asking for more current and the voltage drops more (the led's in the faceplate dim). It also sounds like when you

If it's not blowing the fuse in the car then I guess it wasn't drawing a huge amount of current. Check the power wires going into the radio and look for something loose. My first guess is your loosing voltage across a bad connection somewhere and a
