Several points are: * There�s quite a bit of background on IMC in the fine SMTnet Archives. I�ll try not to duplicate it. * If you have a smooth and well-formed solder connection using fairly common materials, you assuredly will have IMC. Any evide

Dave, Like everyone else,I don't generally allow it. If only one component is off and that head is doing another component of the same type with no probs, ( pick-up is OK ) then I just say "don't ask me - move the bloody thing". I usually find it's

Most of the machine suppliers Fuji, Siemens, Universal and Panasonic did regret that they were building glue machines. Applying adhesive compared to placing a component looks so simple, but it is not and the defect rate is higher than placing 1206 c

Huh, what, geez. Wazza time Jimbo? Call me a cab. Why is this gentleman retroflecting? Why would anyone make an articulatory gesture by turning the tip of the tongue back against the roof of the mouth? I don't know what this is a bout, but I can a

1. First and foremost is paste alignment. If you start out of the gates with a bad paste/pad relationship, it will be nothing but problems down the line. AOI is not required, but dial in the alignment, QC if necessary, then introduce the boards to

I was recently approached by a leading industry consultancy group and was asked, ..."if there have been any major advances or developments in the field of electronics production, what are they?" It got me to thinking, we've certainly witnessed some
