Hi, I just saw the new NXT machines at globaltronics in Singapore, and mostly they are faster. However what was interesting is Fuji shows a prototype of the new XPF machine, but it was called XPF-W which handles really large PCB's and uses the sam

less total area of voids, which mean a much more strength in the joint and much easier to solder such a cooling pad grounded via vias, with this approach! The same goes for big cooling pads of let say Power transistors without any via etc. Always re

We are installing via reflow soldering a crystal that has 2 pads, 1 each end. They are flat pads on the bottom of the part with a small area of the pad looping around and up the side of the crystal on the end. Inspection of the cyrstal under a 40X

Thanks to all for your input. We did have a third party do an analysis on boards from the first shop. They were shipped directly from the board shop to eliminate the possibility that we could contaminate them. The third party (Forsite) did find Sili

There may be a better way, but this is how we do it: We have one SMT line and ALL SMT parts are kept in the SMT area. There is no kitting of SMT parts...only through hole, etc. For each SMT part in our ERP system, we set for backflush. That means th

fishingfool, I would appear obvious that you are connected to Yestech since only inside information could make your statement in paragraph two. I hate to break it to you but a $15,000.00 ransom is exorbitant, most equipment suppliers are half if no

I have a problem setting up the LAE on my Quad 4c. I set it up for 0805, and it seems to work, although it rejects a lot of parts, at least it places "most" of them. I tried setting up on a soic14, and could not get even one to pass. I believe I h

I cheated on the escapement length for the SOLIC plate and got through Feeder Optimization and Generate Program without any errors. Some progress, but no I cant figure out how to the the generated program into the central controllers on the Quad IVc
