We do have in stock a pair of Panasonic Soft Beam Selective solder systems which use light to solder. They are practically brand new and seem to be ideal for applications where one or a few connections need to be soldered. They are even pass thru m

Not to toot my own horn, but ever since I came on board at my company, wave solder defects have gone down by 35%. This was due mainly to a new flux and a process control system that I implemented back in '99. Now, the metric used was DPMO. How do

In the past I've removed shields with a dedicated hot air machine. (Similiar to an SRT) This machine could remove and replace shields using a stereo microscope and a positioning system. Basically a special nozzle is designed for each type of shield.

My company is a small to mid size contract manufacturer, and relatively new to the business. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what a typical warranty policy is for PCB assemblies. In an effort to get needed sales, I am afraid our sales departm

Steve, When you say "CAD input", do you mean centroid data ( xy locations ) or generic cad info straight from the layout software. ( so far the machines I have been looking at use centroid) What are your rates of "false failures" and how do your o

Some AOI manufacturers require you to put in a GOLD PCB. Gold PCB is a perfectly manufactured board - Correct placements, correct polarity, no solder short, a "GOOD" PCB. With the vision limitations of some AOI equipment components that have variatio

The CAD data is the centroid data, x,y location. I developed an Excel macro in which we import the data as a text file and convert it to the CR Technology format. Rates for false failures varies, but is ~10 - 20%. The operators are given an oportuni

Phil, The AOI will do a excellent job doing what you said you are looking for. We justified ours on the same requirements as you stated. Keep in mind that the machine may not "see" everything, there are some hidden joints that you will still need to

What time? An in-line bot with a vision system tuned for paste recognition can measure a different portion of each board and keep pace with the placement machine all day long. I don't understand what you guys propose as an alternative. Realistical
