Good Day! I am looking to purchase a Cyberoptics KS-Flex 18 AOI system, I have a couple of question that if you could answer, I would most appreciative. 1) Model and length of time used. Do they use AOI for all pwbs or just the more complex a

Am I missing something here? I usually put some type of stiffener or support on the leading edge to make sure the PWB doesn't sag in the middle from the preheat. If I had to add a bean bag with shotgun pellets or BB's I would have boards falling out

There is a spec I read that states +/- 0.001" (0.025mm) print deposition accuracy and repeatability is more than adequate for 0201-chip printing. I don't think any print studies where done for 01005 chips yet. There are several other factors besides

We are currently struggling with a particularly difficult component selection form our designers. This is a custom BGA, 592 balls, metal cover with a very large bead of adhesive using to retain the cover. We have had significant fallout (greater th

In-Circuit test, or ICT, is the most common method of electrical test for an assembled PCB. It is the most comprehensive and accurate method to ensure that both the PWB and components are working to specification. Not all components however can be el

It depends on the laminate but a PWB is like any other MSL component. Some fab shops are only waranting standard FR4 laminates for 45-60 days when processed at lead free temperatures. The best thing I can say is to try some weight gain/loss experim

Depending on your requirements, you could range from a hair dryer, heat gun, toaster oven, hot plate, on up to digitally controlled surfaces and convective systems. You'll have to gauge for yourself whether you are just trying to add some heat energy

Well, we cannot make the cuts any deeper as then > we would incur a significant amount of "bowing" > at SMT placement/reflow. Interesting. Could be a number of factors contributing. Here's a story.... In the beginning was the board design, and in
