Just as an update P. Kay would not sell it until it was formally introduced at APEX. The sales rep issue in North America is still being finalized with the first rep due to be anounced this week.In the meantime they are taking orders and providing in

Seeking very low volume production reflow oven

Electronics Forum | Mon May 22 15:46:49 EDT 2006 | adlsmt

Grant has a good idea, we started that way also. We made a tank out of stainless steel with copper tube coils about 18" off the bottom. Circulate cold water through the tubes to condense the vapor to keep the loss down. We used electric burners under

Laser Depaneling / Routing

Electronics Forum | Fri Jun 16 11:43:30 EDT 2006 | dseif

I agree with "Two Cents" that the initial cost is very high, however, we may be able to justify with savings associated with improved layouts (high volume mfg)... so I am also looking into laser depaneling at this time. I have stumbled upon three co

MVP 1820 AOI

Electronics Forum | Thu Sep 07 08:18:19 EDT 2006 | Rob

Hi Pavel, Great machines - very good for high volume - we did a lot of OEM overflow work and for fault finding & speed it kicked the other more expensive machines into touch. However... Programming is a lot slower initially than some of the othe

MPM UP2000 Hi-e

With the UP2000 that has vacuum board hold down, the Grid Loc hoses defeat the vacuum in order for them to exit the work table. Big boards require more girds, thus more hoses. Set-up between large and small boards takes time to remove or add the gr

Ted Dangelmayer's book [ESD Program Management: A Realistic Approach to Continuous Measurable Improvement in Static Control; Dangelmayer, T; Kluwer Academic Pub 1999 e2; 0412136716] is excellent. Often, ESD supplies sales-types use the "Chicken Littl

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone! I am seeking the assistance/guidance of anyone who has had practical experience with placing, soldering, and rework of this particular component. One of our customers is looking to use this component on quit

Which AOI to buy?

Electronics Forum | Tue Nov 07 14:23:13 EST 2006 | CL

Hello bpeach, We purchased a Mirtec for our first AOI machine after a side by side comparison of three different manufacturers. The Mirtec proved to be far superior to the others that we had looked at. Initially, the intention of the AOI was to prov

UBLOX Tim-4A reflow problem

Electronics Forum | Mon Dec 18 16:13:15 EST 2006 | darby

AJ, No overprint. We have components in very close proximity that precluded that. Also we have differing areas of thermal relief for the pads from a large backplane, from none at all to open blocks to individual pad relief. After a few more experimen

solder paste measurement machine

3d is good for initial verification that your screen printer and stencil is producing the desired paste height. 2D verification is more than sufficient during regular production. That being said, your best bet for a 3D machine is to go cheap - buy
