If you are not OEM I would evaluate a chosen laser machine carefully. If possible, go and run some PCB's yourself at the manufacture's place before you jump into conclusions. If your work orders are small and very different, it might take a while for

(Hey Cal how you doing?) I can't resist this. You can sort of do what you're hoping for but you have to be very careful. Let the component run out and let the machine get as far as it's going to go. Then go to "Software Options", "Test commands" then

Short answer is - not really. According to the manual in Chapter 1-5 Supply devices (Feeders) overview "There are also available an 8mm tape feeder which handles 1005(0402) square chips". I have never seen one. The problem is that even an H nozzle is

If I've been clear, the parts become offset as the XY table moves around, without fiducial correction. It's when it does a fiducial correction that the placement is alright. If the placement is excellent, and I just zip the table around...load posit

Amol, We pulled off this "hybrid profile" with a leaded solder paste. We recently got our tensile test report results, and our Pb-Free BGA / Pb Paste sample broke off during tensile tests at the pad/substrate interface, and not the joint. This ind

Outside the box: Can you retro your oven with a belt chain combo? I always order my ovens this way just in case. No pallet or carrier needed then. Can justify retro against the cost of the pallet or carrier. Two part epoxy instead of heat cure?

There is no standard, nor should there be [because the IPC standards should be aimed at describing results, not the path used to reach the results]. So, your printer equipment supplier recommendations are a good starting point. Your "35-46 lbs-in"

I just flew in from (insert city) and boy are my arms tired. pr: Likely, you're correct. The "pound-inch" units should have been the give-away, for us. Good catch. If this is the case, the frame fabricator would be the best source for tensioning

Silicone-based coatings "repel" most foreign,non-compatible materials like peelable solder mask, and rubber or vinyl boots. The result is, uncured material around the vicinity of where the boot was. Trust me. Been there and done that. As a rookie
