Plenty of people don't like cut 'n clinch and might appreciate just having the cut part. We do a mix of OEM and CEM work, because of the low volumes special tooling for a product is often out of the question so that is one thing to consider. We use t

I have no idea what your Festo looked like. But the ability to move a component freely in xyz and rotate it is what you get from a typical manual placement station. You don't get that with tweezers or vacuum pickup pens. I've seen people make all so

Nichrome, manganin, phosphor bronze etc are easy to solder ... the hard part is removing the corrosion * Manganin: 86% copper, 12% manganese, 2% nickel. Often, it's used in making cryogenic measurements, due to its low heat loss. * Select a flux for

Dendritic growth is always a result of three combined factors: Conductive/corrosive residues Electrical current Moisture A wave solder process normally applies a higher volume of flux than a printed process. Flux however is not the only source. F

Good day all!! I am looking to go paperless with my travelers and i'm wondering if anyone knows of a low cost tool/software to support this? I'm not looking for a full MES or ERP system, we have these, but they don't have options for a traveler. I w

There is no industry standard for BTC stand-off height. "IPC-7093A Design and Assembly Process Implementation for Bottom Termination SMT (BTC) Components" just finished "Final Draft for Industry Review" in December 2018. It mentions stand-off height

Contributors in order of importance: 1. PCB design - if you have large thermal pads, a grid of via holes should be created. Components with low profile will not let the gas to escape from the joint. The only way is going down. 2. Reduce paste volum

Hi all. We are currently trying to build a downstream bypass to have our final conveyor feed into our oven, which doesn't have a SMEMA interface. Right now we have to manually connect the two downstream ready pins by hand. I have a good idea of how I
