Hello, During a recent customer audit, one of their auditors asked if we measured airborne particles in our SMT operation area. Within their operations, they mentioned a concern when placing micro-BGA's. My question is: do some SMT lines use a pseudo

Try Assembl�on. The 2.0 version just came out so the 1.x versions are probably no longer available. I believe they start charging you for it now, but it won't be much since the previous versions were free. If you can manage to track down a 1.x versi
