Thanks for your responses, gentlemen. I'm really just looking at options, and frankly, being a novice at this stuff I'm looking for the info. required to make a semi educated decision. You, kind sirs, are my educators. And that probably scares m

You need to decide what types of processes you need to run right now. What is the mix of different devices and what volume is required for each product. Are you doing a mixed technology board (SMT & PTH) or just SMT. Are there fine pitch devices (und

Hello to everyone. I am not a technician of any sort, so I don't even know the name of the part I'm going to ask you about. Basically I learned this stuff by myself. I bought me a Playstation One and tried to install a chip on it. Here's a pic of the

I have to agree with Geo. I've a number of years exp. with Quad Machines and currently waiting for the Installation of the APS-1H so I can be trained. However, the quad techs take no prisoners when it comes to chasing down bugs. The Meridian is Quads

We have just installed an omega wave to our W/S machine and are tring to W/S some of our bottom side surface mount components. I am still getting skips on some sot 23's. The component lay out meets all IPC 782 guidelines. I have verified these setti

By Hot Air Knife I assume (leave it alone Dave F.) that you mean a debridging knife located at the exit end of a wave solder machine. Russ is right, they are not a good substitute for a good process, but once the process (w/o HAK) is developed, it
