I am not familiar with networking the machines in question. What type of OS do the machines run on? How does the Panacim software network the equipment? If you only want to access all the machines offline for file transport and do not plan on using t

Hany: How could you let this happen? ;-) The real issue is how best to remove the VSOP. You can argue if there is one clearly superior method. Consider trying several methods and let your operators select the one that makes sense to them. Replac

For a few thousend boards, I would look into some automation. In order to get the components off the boards you could run the boards through the reflow oven with the cooling fans turned off. When the boards come out of the oven the solder is still l

Can anyone give me a good reason to stay in this industry. I really do not want to be the last one in this forum while I see all my friends move on to other jobs, reasonable pay and security. From all I can tell it is over, there is nothing left to

Just a question: have you ever tried to transfer programs between 2 identical MPM printers, or between 2 identical CAMALOT Geminis? Well, you'll be surprised to find out that you have to spend 15 to 30 min tweaking them on the second machine. And th

Regardless of the design technology of the board, we use shop floor management software that: * Calculates the period that it takes to assemble a job. Obviously, we enter product-manufacturing information [ie, BOM, material receipt dates, process fl

Craig, it depend's n what you want to look at. In term's of te gran structure of the solder jont that's formed when the joint is cooling so you'd want to monitor the temperature drop from the peak or say 215dg C for ref down to probably about 150 an

On a more layman's terms (am not a expert), here goes : 1) resistivity of DI rinse must be greater than 10M-ohms (some say greater than 16M-ohm?), dunno what is the FIX industrial standard? 2) DI water rinse usually is the end zone rinse, before th
