Use an "LCR" (L= inductance, C= capacitance, R= Resistance)meter. There are several name brands to choose from (Fluke, etc.) Hand held units are relatively inexpensive. In fact, you may consider having more than one available. Receiving inspection s

OK Terrapin, Here it is, roughly half hour after I vented on your reply. I still don't like your attitude to "school" me on this subject. I've been doing this way too long. But I decided that I would satisfy your attempt at "learnin" me. First, I

Russ, These are the pb free components that you mentioned that are coming around the bend. Not the old CBGA's. I use to use CBGA's alot with former company. These are 15 x 15 mm plastic BGA's with 14 mil pg free solder balls going on 8 mil gold pads.

Congratulations on your new customer. This could be a keeper. Here's what you're familiar with: Electroless Nickel - per MIL-C-26074 and ASTM-B733. Electroless nickel describes the plating of nickel deposits, which may contain phosphorus and boro

I would agree that anyone buying a new machine should run boards on it. As well I agree with almost everything you said. We did run boards on a Mydata machine. If we were shorter runs and higher mix I would have bought one. We paid a local comapny a

Not an easy task and requires calibration jig. MPM support field service is your best bet. The adjustment screws for the prizm located on left side of camera will adjust the x direction. There is a set screw on the front that must be loosened first.

Hi Peter, You certainly have a selection of kit. We use 2 CP6's & 2 GSMs per line, and that balances pretty well (sometimes one of the fuji's is idle though - but we can live with that). When we had S20's we found 2 of them roughly kept up with a

Hi Patrick, I see what you're all are saying, and can understand how you come to that conclusion, however I would disagree with the protectionism arguement. Most of the electronics assemblies in Europe come in from China, Taiwan, Malaysia etc, (T

Do you have any parts dedicated on the machine? 100n 0603 or 0805 is probably used on almost everything you build. So why take it off and put it on the machine several times a day. Even if you dedicate only 20 parts to never come off the machine, tha
