I was dreaming about a real easy to use assembly machine. The software was written for operators and did not require more than a few hours training. Machine operations and board programming was written in clear language, icons, pictures and machine e

| I am currently in the process of setting up an SMD Parts Package Database. The database will contain dimensional information to be used by the placement machinery to process parts (I.E Package Type, # of Leads, Lead dimensions, Lead pitch(s), etc.

| Cpk's on top flight ovens (e.g., Conceptronics, Heller, Electrovert, Vitronics) vary wildly, from 1 to 2+, between different supplers. The suppliers don't seem to understand Cpk's. A supplier's rep whose oven has a Cpk of 1.0 told me: | 1. Cpk's

Interesting situation. Everything [ie, intermetallic compounds, solderability, etc] is speculative without knowing more about the materials of: * Leads. * Solderability protection. ... because suppliers use a fairly wide of materials. Your suppl

it has a lousy gage. * Solderability testing machines from different suppliers produce dissimilar results. * Tests don�t well represent in-use. For instance, how does one test the solderability of a BGA? [Ooo, ooo. I know the answer. => For BGA and
