I gather from your question that you might have experienced large scale system implementation problems in the past, or at least fear experiencing it in the future. This is a very valid concern based on the performance of traditional CIM systems. Fo

The ultrasonic frequency used in today�s stencil cleaners is usually a 40 kHz �sweep� frequency (also used on semiconductors and other sensitive cleaning applications). This frequency is not low enough to cause stencil damage (the lower the frequen

Dave, I think we are heading toward the same objective, but from different directions. You are asking what's the cost of ownership? However, I think a question that is just as important and one that is pertinent to your current economic picture is,

Hi Dave, I may read the �Root Cause Analysis� to get a better understanding what it is all about. My general impression is that the sessions are purposely held short and with a short prior notice. It is not supposed to give you too much time to quest

I visit customers on a contract base to get the machines in a status, that an operator can take over. These customers are usually small shops, who can not effort an engineer to set up the machines. I am not afraid of my job, if it does not require a

Deon Response: Hello Mike, Although the trend now days is to outsource, in some cases building it yourself is a worthwhile process. From what you say your product seems pretty simple and mature, so it might be very cost effective for you to bring i

Mike, I understand your dilemma very well. You see, I was a manufacturing engineer for 11 years doing make or buy decisions before getting into the sales field. But for this commentary I will wear my engineer hat. Your situation is not uncommon.

Re: no-clean processes - are gloves necessary?

Electronics Forum | Thu Oct 21 09:56:11 EDT 1999 | Brian

Rich An excellent question and one which is often totally ignored. If you wish a "no-clean" flux to be as safe as it possibly can be, the PCB and the components must all be contamination free (ionic and non-ionic). Only then can you be sure that the

It is true that the use of saponifiers (and other water soluble additives) will lower the surface tension and aid in under component penetration. It is also true, however, that other specific design features within a batch machine can also aid in un
