Jeremy, well said! Thanks for "validating" my theory... LOL I agree that the sampling frequency, AND methodology are key things with 3D inspection. 3D will give you some insight onto how your paste (rheology, viscosity, thixotropy)AND process are

If......... 1) Assuming you are panelizing them (you would have to actually).... 2) You don't have any fine pitch parts on the board then I would suggest a chipshooter like a Fuji CP-6 or a Panasonic MV2F. Get (2) of these used for around $100K ea

I would look at Universal for sure. They have a ton of late model Chip placer's and GSM's that they will discount heavy. There are so many used GSM's and HSP's on the market you could probably get what you need for a fraction of the cost. You could p

Thanks for all your inputs. As I read through your responses, and through my research on the web, I have learned there are so many options to try and evaluate. The material we are using is loctite FP4531 - a snap cure flip chip underfill. Loctite ha

Hi Bart, I would suggest MyData. They are good for protos because they are very flexible. You can use strips of parts with no leaders. This is huge unless your customer / company deals with nothing but full reels. You can even teach it to pick u

Hi all, I am doing some research on SMT machines. I would like as many people as possible to rate the following machines 1-6. The number 1 would be the best, number 6, the least desirable of the 6. I realize that there are dozens of factors to con

I used to work with Chris. (neither of us are there anymore). What is he talking about is putting components into "pockets". The parts would come in, in sticks (tubes) but we wanted them in reels. At first we sent them out to be reeled, but that w
