Your kinda vague on your description, How many components per hour, how many circuits per a day, week, month? what kinds and size of parts.? For a PNP setup for smt boards you will need a stencil printer(possibly manual or full auto like a DEK, 1 o

I was wondering if anyone else out there using the Vectorguard system by DEK has had problems with leaking air bladders. We started using a 29 x 29 frame about a year ago, and already, we've needed to send the frame back 3 times for repair due to int

We have the same issues with QFN's on reels being cost prohibitive, so we also have to deal with tubes. We have had some luck with using a modified tube ran down (almost to the pick position) the channel of a belt feeder, assuming the QFN tube/channe
