I'm assuming that 18k components per month represents less than 100 boards per month. I've worked for both OEMs and CEMs and if your design is stable and your volumes are relatively stable I would highly recommend going with a CEM given the low volum

Hello Bob, What makes this problem even harder for us is that we are not the manufacturer of this particular board. We are just performing re-works on them based on the issues they come in for, and thus refurbishing the unit. We are currently in th

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding wavesoldering and measuring if a proces/machine is in control. I made a custom carrier for measuring contact time, parallelism, solder temperature, coveyorspeed and some data of the preheat section. The s

Tim, 1. You dont need the vacuum verify if the quadalign is working properly. If you have the part quad-aligned and dont have alignment type at 0 it will never 'not' place a part. More or less...the vac verify was needed for the chucking machine (3c)

I need to clarify something for everyone. The end customer is the Military. Our customers are military suppliers who do in fact have quality systems in place. When we build the product we end up potting the unit so the customer never looks at the ele

The boards are expensive because they are your product... covered in circuitry. A 2% scrap rate costs twice as much as a 1% scrap rate. Say the parts on your consumer electronics board cost $5. A machine that makes 99% good boards and 1% bad boards
