Try using the accounting functions in my program PCB Synergy. http://members.iinet.net.au/~sarason/ It can calculate the number if components used in a run by simply importing the PCB or the schematic or a PIK file. It generates CSV which has the num

I would agree with innova's suggestion of Marantz. I've seen 3 different AOI machines implemented into our shop, and you really have to consider the ease of use, and possibility of defects that operators can introduce. AOI's, theoretically, look good

We use a lot of single row breakaway pin headers. Right now we order then as sticks of 36 and I just have a tech break them into whatever lengths we need (3 pin, 5 pin, 8 pin, whatever.) I'm trying to streamline our auxillary processes. I know you ca

We will be running a very large board with 62k+ components on it in the coming week. Has anyone run boards with this qty before? For sanity sake I had to split up the board into 12 individual programs. We will be forced to run it on a My12 due to

We have plenty of people with longer hair. This has never been an issue and there is no evidence it ever has been. Like I said, as long as your facility is following proper ESD protection protocol, which it appears you are, why the fuss? As long a

When using AOI for through hole you can expect to be able to detect, depending upon whether inspecting from the solder side or the destination side: Polarity (if applies) Value (if marked) Presence (should be there) Non-Presence (should NOT be there)

Your SMT5000 can place 25 thou components. I'd guess the TQFN-EP is 16 thou pitch. You get the picture. Before considering the purchase a capable machine, I'd add copper to the board to give my operators a break when they tweek the position of these

I was trying to set up a new board, and after creating the board directory, the CC spit back a line of garbage and said the directory was invalid. I pressed escape to start over, and it froze. Now when i start it every time, it goes through login a

I am just being introduced to GemLine and Assembleon. I have been trying to get the programs on two other computers so we get more work done. One is windows 7, the other is vista. I was unable to get PCP explorer or editor installed on the windows

This is a very common question, I can relate to your question I have here almost the same setup on the smt line, printer a DEK, MY12 and an awful versatronics oven, about the question about the responsibilities, here the operator has only the knowled
