We have several selective soldering machines, that because of several minutes of process time per PCB, one operator can keep 2 or sometimes 3 machines loaded and running. Other days only 1 machine is running but operator does not have enough time to

Thank you all for your feedback. While the new smart reel towers are the ideal, we simply cannot afford them or better pnp equipment at this time. However for the short term, probably putting colored stickers on the reel edge folded over so it is vis

Interesting, never heard of using wax as a coating mask. Not sure how well the AR coating would hold up to a hot alkaline wash (unless you have experience with it), but that stuff usually starts to flake off/de-wet if you just look at it wrong. I'm

Now you are going too deep. Purchasing should have nothing to do with your placement cost. Reducing part numbers too. These are separate processes and should be evaluated separately. You have: 1. Machine time and cost -utilities -maintenance -consu

I have been grinding the smt reels to reduce space and recently found a company who will take my scrap for repurposing not landfill. It is not easy to get this into a proper stream unless you have a truck load. We probably send them 300lbs at a time

Once a long time ago I had a board where the cap beside a tantalum shifted in the oven. I phoned our HQ plant and was told that they had the same issue and that it was the tantalum capacitor outgassing. We just applied a dot of glue to the cap. Try b

I'm with an annoying problem with an IV-c. Almost all the time the Y-axis "stuck" when the machine is homing. The motor tries to move the axis but only make a sound. If I move the axis by hand it can complete the homing and then goes to the IDLE. So

MM, exchange the cards doesn't make any difference. The problem happens when the machine is moving from left to right. Right to left works all the time. bobpan, thanks, I completely missed this one. The default was 0 and now is set to 1. The build c

If this is a Kanetic edge belt conveyor that was manufactured by Kanetic in Lake Barrington Illinois then I've seen this before. The folks at Kanetic built a function into the PLC code to make the conveyor reversible without hardware modifications.
