Not sure on stepped stencil designs, very application specific. Try consulting with your stencil supplier. Most of the big suppliers have applications engineering support. You can send them your board data and they can review and advise. Also, consid

If 15 to 18 chips per hour is fine, I would put them down by hand. If your useage goes up dramatically, I would look at the top end machines. The prices from the big guys have come way down and its not worth buying a mid market machine anymore.

It sounds as though you are looking for a single machine that can do the entire component range. The C5 series from Contact Systems competes directly with the machines you mention. The Mydata machine will do 6-8K CPH real world with the hydra head

I have to do 15 job changes a day! A typical batch is one or two panels. I fully agree with your comments about reduced opportunity for error and we have to work hard to keep these to a minimum. However if I put all my ICs onto reel I will need anoth

Hi, Can anyone provide a check-list to evaluate the capability of a subcontractor for assembling boards? I mean a list of items to check like number of SMT production lines, kind of machines (screen-printer, pick-and-place, oven, AOI, etc.), throug

We are considering the purchase of CircuitCam. Can anyone tell me if the program is capable of splitting a large build into two seperate machines? We frequently run into builds that have over 80 unique part numbers. When this happens we need to manua

Hi, Our GSM1 pick and place machine has an Axis head 2 Z velocity error. None of the spindles of Head 2 work during placement and it brings up the error message. It will not proceed after that. I have tried lowering and raising the spindles in the

Mostly, you don't want to do that. Whoever designed the PCB should be able to produce a "pick and place report" or similar file that lists components by designator (R123) component value/type (100 Ohm 0805) and XY and rotation. If there's absolutel

One of our former SMT Technicians used a component we pick and place for this purpose. The component is a bond pad that is soldered to a ceramic PCB during SMT assembly. The assembly is now obsolete. I tried looking up the manufacturer's part nu

We've just completed an experiment for one of our customers using lead-free HASL. From a manufacturing standpoint, everything seemed to have run fine. Solder profiling seemed to be unaffected, pick and place was unaffected, and the end result looke
