My company uses primarily mechanical; electric are actually relatively new to us. I do agree that the reel holder is cheaply made, luckily we haven't had one break yet. Because of the longer load time for our operators, we do have feeders prepared fo

I have a colleague trying to keep a piece of old equipment alive for a little longer. Web searches haven't been very helpful due to the age of the equipment. The latest listing I found was placed in 2013. Does anyone have a machine that could be p

Hi Etimov, Understood that to us assembling parts that IPC is king, however it isn't neccesarily the bible for design engineers. We've had customers demand almost zero voiding, or had to use conductive epoxy to avoid it. For some of us solder joi

It's the same thermal issue whether it's a die or package. It's different if it is just a signal trace, but if it's a heatsink pad (LED, FET, Motor driver, PSU IC etc). I think the voiding issue boils down to what the part is actually doing. The or

Looks like you have bad wetting. I will do in this order as it is easier to troubleshoot starting with the machine and transitioning to the PCB: 1. First clean some bare PCBs really good and try again. 2. Check thermal profile 3. Check flux - amount

I have a stamped steel battery contact to pick that has a pick location 11mm deep in the tape. The factory machine settings only allow 6.6mm of "over-drive" depth past the top of the carrier tape. Based on that, I will need a custom nozzle that is

Hi, I'm looking for a software copy for the CyberOptics Cyberscan Cobra Laser Profile Scanner. An issue with one of the files is preventing the software from running and we no longer have the original copy to re-install it on our computer. This Cyber

You are probably right. The Aimex III handles a larger board was my biggest draw. I will check and make sure the NXT III comes in a dual gantry configuration. Finally heard back from Juki after I basically told them if I didn't hear back they were o
