We use EFD pneumatic dispensers. Several are second hand from our favorite online auction site. I just checked on there and there are 3 units currently less than $50. Have the bean counters where you work get you one. Tell them your hand hurts from u

We have a board that uses 0402x4 RNET packages that we are having a difficult time getting to solder consistently. Paste deposition is fine (using AIM WS353) and profile is dead-nuts. I'm starting to wonder if this is something that we're just goin

The 483 is what we use on all boards except on one where the 353 improved wetting on resistor packs. It worked much better since the parts are LF and this is the same flux AIM uses in their LF solder. Yes, it was recommended by AIM when we discussed

What software do you use to track your parts? We use Manex - it is not perfect but still gives you the opportunity to track parts/jobs relations. For example I know in each moment one particular part goes to 5 currently open jobs. You should explore

What about designators? Using gerbers to program a pnp machine was always a last resort to be done only after much complaining and begging for proper CAD data. Back in the day I used UniCAM to program a mydata. After getting it figured out it was eas
