Don't forget Mydata, the Swedes that dominate the lower end and flex placement market now. Yeah, many bought the Omni from old UIC but what did they develop? "Support", the equip mfg?s are suppose to support the customer. UIC got a lot of good constr

Alas we as Americans are destined to be innovators and consumers. However, we do not consume what we innovate. We wait for the Euro and Japanese conglomerates to take our ideas, mass produce them, and then sell them back to us. They are fueled by

Hi Guys, We are using two types of support Jigs for our PCB boards, during the paste printing, chip shooter, and IC mounting. The two types of support Jigs are : 1) "self-fabricated" aluminium support Blocks 2) "off shelf purchased" support Pins T

There is two major BGA coating camps. * Camp #1: "We require the coating to be under low stand-off devices but with no filleting. So we apply a thinned dip coat first, and then top-off with a proper spray coat" * Camp #2: "We want no coating under th

Alan, You're right, mass inspection after assembly won't work. The inspectors will miss 25% (or more) of the defects, and the boards will be reworked before SMT operators can properly define defects and their sources. The company I work for tends to

I know the information is out there somewhere, but I need to find information on cost models that apply to reworking motherboards. I had this task dropped in my lap and I�m trying to turn this around quickly. Some background: Products that are diag

I do think that people should have to pay a registration fee. It costs a lot of money to run a company like Universal. R&D, help dest etc. They deserve to turn a profit. I also think Universal makes great machines. I am probably their biggest fan. So

It's not impossible to balance in a non-repetitive situation. You'll need to investigate mix-model JIT methods. It takes more effort, but it is very possible. First is to figure out which assemblies are going to be the most similiar, which ones use

Hi, this is not really a technical solution, just a feedback. we too have a model series using the same WS paste type. it gives a dull solder joint with white residue that can be marginally removed after post-DI water rinse (ie. not 100% removed).
