I can guarantee that vibrating ovens will be detrimental in double sided reflow for any of the larger parts. I find it interesting about BTU and there "vibrating" oven. I had a couple of these in the early days and they did indeed vibrate. However

Can anyone give a good manufacturer of hand held vacuum pick up tools? I have tried most of the common ones out there.(Vampire,Pen Vac,Selecta)They seem to work OK, but they still lose vacuum and drop parts after a couple seconds. We just got in a ne

What do they say? Not too much as of yet. (I haven't actually recieved them yet.) The parts are being custom made by my customer. I've already bought my stencil, so I'm thinking I'm just going to try and stencil the tacky flux right on the pads and p

Pete C We do bake our tray parts. I am familiar with the ipc specs. The problem is for example: a level 4 component can only be out a total of 72 hrs before rebake is required. If this is a tube or reel part, the 125c bake temp that is recommended wi

You may also want to start on the component library. Hypotetically speaking, the GSM shows the component as follows in the component library: One lead to the right, 3 leads to the left. This is the feeder default orientaion and it will be 0 degrees.

We currently use the bartector system on our CP6. It has saved us quite a few times with wrong part numbers being loaded on the wrong location. (rework for certain parts would have been a nightmare) It is extremely easy to use. I was not involved
