Hello. I'm wondering if anyone out there is working with prototyping 201 sized componants. I'm curious to know about the tools you like to use. I am quite comfortable placing 402's alld ay long with a simple soldering iron, but i'm concerned that i w

Absolutely right and furtermore, when does one have a glance of the future whith all spectrum of its perfomance; without looking in the past? Maybe You will catch me, despite my english gramma (or maybe totally un-understood). We have seen this befo

I have a couple of customers I showed this to and they were impressed with the capability but didn't know the price yet. Reason being was the control of the amount of paste applied to the pads could be adjusted. They both said they had problems with

You can't really use a pasted board to troubleshoot the program as any components not on target simply slide off with machine vibration and movement as they won't be held by the solder paste. Whereas on double sided sticky tape they remain in place

Moonman really needs to stop. I finally looked at his site, and it sucks. It is NOT informative, he has chosen horrible background and font colors (immediately got a headache). It is just some 'person' who thinks 'he/she' is an expert in this indust

"...Moonman is a pretentious wannabe in the industry. If you look through the archives here you'll see that nothing could be further from the truth. His contributions on the past were pretty friggin' spot on. However, he no longer posts anything t

We have demo'ed the Niton and the Innov-X Systems' units. Prices quoted to us were exactly as Ken had mentioned. Serious Ouch but the situation I mentioned sure helped sway management towards a purchase. In addition to contracting spare time with t

Shifting? Please describe the "Shifting". I.E. is it centering, sliding to cause shorts..... Most 208s will self center. If it's causing shorts, first check your print to make sure it is on the pads. Next check placement. Another area to check

The only problems I've ever had with 208's shifting out of alignment was with a board with too much HASL thickness. The lands had a convex profile and the parts kept slipping downslope. We put down a glue dot and ranted at our board supplier. Both

I just noticed that you mention 2-5mm off, that is huge! It would seem to me that there is an external force here to move a part that far. Things such as a heavy air stream that for some reason is really hitting this part, something on the PCB unde
