There are a few directions to go from Here... 1) Outsource it to a CM, 2) Capital investment both have there issues. To Out source I would have processes in place to Inspect quality, resolve issues, Assure quaility, and Hope they can meet your deadli

Have you checked the temperature profile at the balls? Just because a recipe works "fine most of the time" does not mean it is optimum. Do you have a machine that can measure co-planarity? If I get time I plan on using the MPA to look at co-plana

Joe, You would be best off going with a larger company such as Universal or Mydata at this point. The market is still bad and this is where you will get your best deals. They offer better support than a small company. Small companies like Contact sys

Dr. Lou, Your first question is influenced by many variables. New equipment will have the first year free parts, labor and service. You may discuss a long term at time of purchase. Older equipment may (depending on maintenance) have a higher chance
