Well, we are in fact doing a no-clean, multi-shift, very high volume, minimal changeover operation. We use up any paste long before it gets old. Because of the sheer volume any reduction in paste scrap for us is big money. We also are in a zero de

I have always heard the glory of plexi glass templates but have never seen them successfully implemented. ECR changes make this system nearly impossible when you are trying to manage thousands of assemblies. We have removed the hand cranks from the

Sr. Tech, We have a IP III on one of our lines. We were hand placing an Samtec SMT connector MMT-108-01-T-DH series. I asked our SMT tech to get the IP to place it & he said we need tabs on the connector. So we got the "tab" version. Now he is not a

Contact i-pulse. I would be surprised if they did not allow you access to the user site. I don't know what there policy is on second hand purchases through an un-authorised agent but they have always been great with me. This is the user site, but yo

What sort of parts are you looking for? I'd think the springs are fairly non-critical, and easily picked out of a big spring catalog. There are some E-clips and such things, but everything else (in their older feeders, at least) look totally custom

Just a thought: if nothing else makes sense, you might want to watch the action of the edge-hold chains of the reflow oven, are they moving smoothly and uniformly around the drive gears and idlers? I've actually seen the situation where the chains we

I think you are close to the problem when you expect the pcb having a problem. When I look at your different pics I saw that your via holes looks like this pcb has a hasl finish... and when i look at Q 14 this picture tells me that the pcb is not an

I worked for a company that did fast change overs with Panasonic machines. We also had dedicated feeders that never came off the machine. But even with over 100 different dedicated parts most set-ups still had 30 or more parts to load. All feeders w

That you have 'grainy' solder only at the ends of the connector and not at all solder connections indicates that your quality types are on track and are pointing you in a direction worthy of investigation and developing a better understanding of the
