Thanks for all the responses. I do agree with what was said, and can certainly see reasons not to try. I'll write a little more about what we do. We are a defense contractor, and as I mentioned very high mix, low volume. We only have 1 SMT line.

You had mentioned that your volumes will be low? How about the mix? will you be changing over to different products a lot? How many different products will you be running? Will feeder setups be done by the operators or will you have a another departm

So far, I have not been able to get any consistant or good results using one of these "problem solvers". I have managed however, to screw up some good processes. I believe that this technology can work though. I would reccomend contacting Speedlin

Does anyone have any ideas on setting up a parts library/database on an SMT line? We would like to identify a particular part by it's package style, instead of by the customer's part number, in order to reduce the amount of entries in the library.

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol

I presume you have no vision alignment. Buy yourself a little monocular measuring microscope ( about $100 ). You are not going to get the registration you require between stencil and pcb for each print if you are running off tooling pins , edge clamp

Sal, Silly question: Were the parts skewed before they went into the oven? I've chased down a few similar reflow problems in my lifetime, only to find out it was a pick and place problem. Wrong nozzle size, bad nozzle, feeder not advancing all

Take the leap of faith my friend!! Buy the AOI and watch all of your problems disappear. Okay, so I exaggerated a bit. Let me tell you the real story. We purchased a CR Technology RTI6500 almost two years ago. We chose the CR Tech unit because it wa
