Folks, I'm working on setting up an automated process which captures data on SMT component dispensing during placement. Ultimately, I'm hoping to use it to account for component attrition (load/unload losses, vision/mechanical/electrical inspection

Quick Change Tooling is one advantage for DEK when comparing the MPM UP2000. DEK has Form Flex. Good system, but I've heard concerns about long term dependabilty. All support tooling options offered on the UP2000 takes a bit of time to set up. So, If

Wrong Sai. Quite a difference between assembling a board or a PC and building/assembling a screen printer. These systems being built in China will be for the China or Asian market only. MPM and DEK spent decades trying to establish themselves as the

in other words- who gets stuck with the latrine duty? (have seen American Graffiti, where the "effluent" was burned off with diesel fuel, Lord help the person who got stuck downwind!) The thought of having to swab a tube with some sort of cleaner ma

Ah, CHEAP boards. You pay me now, you pay me later, eh? The buyers get BIG bonuses. The production types get trashed, 'cause they can run aboard they've been doing for years. Wassup? For a specification, look to: * IPC-6011 - Generic Performance

Thanks a lot for the reply. The power supply I'm using (12v) is from an HP scanner, so I guess it's always likely that it's not man enough for the job. There were no fuse problems in the car, it just dies. As it is the same problem whether in the

Steve- ya can kick an ol' dog but ya can't always make 'em disappear. Yup, I'm still around, had about a 6-7 month hiatus this year (company closure) Now I'm back in the trenches, kickin' ass and takin' names. To clarify my earlier point, I am not s

Someone that makes conveyors just called me to argue about a smema problem we had with his conveyor and our machine. He caught me off guard and I wasn't the person that handled the problem so I stumbled through this initial conversation. Now that I
