Back in the day, we had a small solder pot used for dipping ICs that were freshly removed from defective boards. What tool did we use to clean the dross? A small piece of card board. After the card board got too toasted, we'd grab a new piece of c

Hi John, What type of machines are you using? (for all you vendor-bashing badmouths out there: this is not an invitation to start advertising you personal favourites!) There may be people out there that have done this trick before on exactly the s

Can you not track placement accuracy/feeder performance/print performance just via the AOI in near real time? Once you get a feel for it you can usually tell where the fails stem from, and at most you are only usually around 10 minutes out depending

Hi Joris, I've used 10's of Millions of these (and the AVX version - PBRC****) and never found this problem (I also worked for Murata back in the mists of time & never encountered it). Internally the part is thermally symmetrical, so the only thing

Stick with what you know, Panasonic make perfectly good machines that are in installs all around the world and last for ever. I believe the I-Pulse is a derivitive of the Yamaha/Assembleon platform & as such should be adequate. (I'm sure Base will

Reading all of the above, the differentiators seem to be very hard to spot by looking only at the quality of the iron and how it is bolted together. Perhaps you should broaden the equation and look at the quality of service that comes with the (secon

Rob, I don't have the time to do the research and prove my points. What I know is from 20+ years studying the competition. Any Fuji saleman would tell you that based on the original post the AIM platform is the better choice. Bigger board, more fe

The Advantis was more accurate than the turret, so he claimed. The Single beam (dual lead screw drive-this is not a GSM 1) flex machine is $125K the Lightning is $150K. They changed the pricing in 2004. I was quoted a Topaz XII at $187K. I know Phili

Universal had not made it on the list due to anticipatory price shock. Its my fault on homework, when I think of Universals and Fujis,I envision high speed, full volume, 24/7 and maybe not that easy for quick changes. So, yes, I am pleased to hear ab

Then he's a very naughty man! Advantis with Lightning head: Chip Accuracy +/- 68uM @ 3 sigma CP643: +/- 66uM @ 3 sigma CP842: +/- 55uM @ 3 sigma I know specs are just statistics but both our Fujis & Universals still calibrated to well within the m
