Slamming someone about spellcheck whilst starting a sentence with a small case "i"? You need to fill your Author name with either a "Master" "Doctor" or "Professor" wording to get away such demeanor! That is, unless you have a carnival mirror and s

I have five Mydata machines. The 21000 number is pie in the sky. Our new My12E (2 months old) won't get close to that. Having said that, I am very happy with 0201 production with the Hydra/line scan/Linear Agilis combination. Mike

Hi, There are a couple of Omniflow 7 and 7E that are being used in the production. Recently we found a lot of flux clogging up the exhaust ducts. Anybody who uses the same type of tool who has seen this kind of problem? How can we fix this? Does

Hi, We actually tried to get major parts of our line from the same supplier, however each supplier is good at some parts of the line, and not others. We went with Soltec oven and wave, which work well, and have not had any issues, plus DEK printer

It's hard to say since cleanliness on my product may be acceptable, but may fail on yours. If you really are worried about flux residues, or need to pass some cleanliness spec, you may want to look into water soluable. Otherwise, most of the name b

I have to hold parts down in my wash baskets. I heard there is a rubber mat with cut outs similar to the screen mesh that the wash basket has. This mat goes over the boards and keeps them from moving through the wash cycle. Has anyone seen this produ
