Gray, For SOME employees, it is a promotion and a potential career paths. in MANY cases, people truly ARE born (or raised) leaders and while they are not briliant engineers, they are GREAT at helping brilliant engineers do their best work and work wi

If you have concerns, you can look at the datasheet for each component or contact one of their application or materials engineers and find out what the components are rated for...process-wise. IE, how long can I be in the oven with this part, at what

I have made couple of investigations with our oven. I set-up 5 product profiles and run a thermal profile measurement and record them. Then I set-up one more product profile and rename that as Validation Profile then measured the thermal profile. A

We use a YesTech M1 system. I have been pleased with it's performance and feel it has done fairly well being that it only has one vertical camera. There are different algorithms you can use to compensate for the lack of angled cameras to catch some

this is really nice one ;) paper and cotton have lowest potential to generate static electricity see below, and usually is good practice to wear cotton glowe at least to one of your hands to not leave greasy finger spots on the gold finish of the PC

Are you working for an OEM? If so see if you can get your engineering department to change their "zero orientation" for the packages. At one place I believe the CAD department called them "G codes". What was really bad there was that one shape had

Hello !! I have a problem with my wave solder oven, in one of the products we made has connectors on one side of the pcb and in the other one has SMT components the process is kinda tricky on the SMT components we use an adhesive and put to the refl

hello, we are profiling with the pcb each day - results are very good with a small delta we made another test board with TC only in the problem places - same good result we tried 500-600 boards on 12 zone machine - zero defects while on standard 6

Sounds like your contract assembler has some serious issues. You should not be getting defects anywhere neer that amount. If you do decide to go that route again find one with a good AOI machine at a minimum and you should also supply them with a fun

I'm in St. Louis, MO, US Midwest. I wrote my own CAm interface, and it works REALLY well. It is only about 2 pages of c code. Of course, it only translates from one CAD package's format to one P&P machine's format. That makes it much simpler to w
