Tracking labor at selective solder

Electronics Forum | Tue Dec 19 16:30:23 EST 2017 | charliedci

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

Best way to identify moisture sensitive reels on a machine

Electronics Forum | Tue Feb 20 14:21:54 EST 2018 | deanm

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

AR/UR Coating Application

Electronics Forum | Thu Feb 01 07:41:01 EST 2018 | dontfeedphils

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

Cost Per Placement

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 02 10:02:03 EDT 2018 | emeto

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

Can someone take a measurement on a HELLER oven please

Electronics Forum | Fri Dec 07 08:49:29 EST 2018 | duke211

I have a similar over and both in and exit should be the same distance apart. You can contact Heller for help. If you have maintenance manual if should tell you how to adjust the timing chain for the lead screws, I am assuming your over have three le

Tantalum capacitor mis-alignment & throwoff issues

Electronics Forum | Thu Dec 20 09:50:44 EST 2018 | stephendo

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

Quad IV-c with Y-axis problem

Electronics Forum | Sat Jan 26 15:47:10 EST 2019 | dfl

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

Quad IV-c with Y-axis problem

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 30 15:08:10 EST 2019 | dfl

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

Conveyor belt moves opposite direction

Electronics Forum | Wed Apr 17 08:01:42 EDT 2019 | jfeustel

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.
