No, not as such. Nor should there be. This is not to say that the issue of making good prints is anything but absolutely vital to cost effective operations. Experts attribute 60+% of SMT soldering defects to the printing process. Properly, both J

Hi Nightbull, I'm with Dave. Don't see the need. Good stencil, good operator, reasonable machine with at least manual vision alignment, good set up, solder paste that satisfies you and the customer, regular maintenance, and how can you go wrong? As

I was wanting to know if anyone has had any luck at networking Panisonic equipment. We've purchased the Panacim package for one of our lines and have found that it was very costly and can create downtime. We are wanting the capability to download mas

We would benchmark our times with the most experienced operator and them boost the time by 1/3. Example: If it takes Mary 3sec to insert the component, 3 secs to clinch and cut the leads (it is not advised to cut the leads after soldering), and 8 sec

We are currently examining the issue of AOI machines (both in-line and off-line) It seems that the only positive remarks I find are written by the salespeople representing AOI manufacturers. Can someone please refer me to a more neutral source? My in

The AOI machines are basically to replace human inspectors. They certainly do a better job. First you have to look at why is there so much inspection. Usually its becuase people have no confidence in thier processes or lack the knowledge to create an
