We have HRFT-301U ( staple bend) is fairly easy to set up. All you need is t-handle Allen that I believe is provided with the machine. All adjustments to form a part, both pitch and lead length are mechanically adjusted by sliding the forming and c

We have a Heller 1707EXL that we use for lead and lead-free production. It has both a mesh belt and edge rails. We run 90% of our assemblies on the mesh belt (leaving the edge rails wide open). I have noticed when profiling a board on the mesh bel

Hi Jake, A few questions: Is your CS-740 JIT bin dual picker or single picker? If it is a single picker then the answer may be as simple as getting a dual picker. Next question...what is your bin usage? Can you double up some of the more common part

JB, I have found the same thing with the visions codes & auto-teach. I'm sure there are some nifty tips/tricks to make all this work faster/better. I just wish they were documented in the manuals better. One thing I did on a yellow tant just a few d

I've got a small smt board I've already got working prototypes of, which uses a tactile switch. I've got another much less expensive tact switch of similar size that I had avoided due to a difference in actuators I originally had no way around. Now I

Thank You Adam...this is the type of input I am looking for. To summarize, you are an OEM that has gone through the process to remove most through hole parts from your assemblies. Those that remain are primarily connectors which may not require lea

On average there are about 3 parts per board that get hand placed (x24 is 72 parts per panel). One of these parts is a big 1W resistor that cannot fit on our axial machine. We also have a Zener Diode that needs to be hand placed because its leads are

Hi All, I have a customer with a very dense design (24 layers, 0201's lots of micro-BGA and lead-less), and they run extreme data rates. Every once and a while they will have a unit that has some speed fall off and they attribute that to the possib

Hi! We're noticing white spots on 2 PCBAs after the selective soldering & DI Wash processes. ----Facts---- 1) The marking is on all boards, irrespective of date code 2) It only happens on leads that have been selective soldered 3) The pattern of w

Thanks for the replies. The single missed lead is a bit odd - we usually have an entire area missed and that's due to the board not sitting properly in the pallet fingers. I figured in this case it was likely due to poor fluxing? We have always str
