I have used Quad/ Now Tyco since the early 90s starting with the 4c then on to the QSA-30s, APS-1, and now the Meridian 1010. We have six machines in a very small area and place over 10 million components per month. As others have said the service is

The basic guidline is lead size plus 0.010" which you can also use for through hole reflow/intrusive reflow. Most suppliers of the insertion equipment quote this as the minimum clearance hence its a good guide. Druing recent trials for through hole

Hi, We are looking for some measuring machines to evaluate the ability of a SMT placement machine to produce quality. We will mount some dummy components on a glass plate and then insert the assembly into the measuring system which can measure the

Daniel, If you just plan on mounting chip components don't worry about getting an accurate measurement. The parts will vary in size, corrupting your accuracy measurements. If you are going to place leaded components you can probably get awa

The other important issue relates to moisture sensitive devices (MSD). If you have MSDs on the first side, you need to track the remaining floor life of the components on the partially assembled boards between the first and second reflow. Contrary to

I'm out here on the leftcoast. Actually, our method for removal is: break down the sides, pull each pin individually. It's tedious and time consuming, but it can be accomplished with little risk of damaging the board. Customers are curious, however.

Jim, In most cases if you can eliminate a process you will save money. With that in mind, an all surface mount or all through hole design is prefered. There are alternatives to that rule, like hybrid designs that can be pin and paste soldered. It al
