Get a FAST computer. Especially if you are programming for the MSF. I didn't like the old panapro and havn't used the new one much. But from what I did see, it's much improved even if it takes a long time to optimize programs. Put it on the fastes

Royonic still seems to be in that business as well. I've used them in the past and while overall they were pretty robust, the tendency to spill bins was pretty high if people got lazy and let loose parts sit around on the magazines. PITA to program

We all genuflect to Graham Naisbitt, a generous contributor to SMTnet. Moisture-curing urethanes may form minute bubbles if the coating is too thick or the coating environment is too humid. So, tell us more about your urethane and the method you u

We utilize a "keepout zone" around the fiducial that is free of resist, silkscreen, vias, and any other feature. e.g. fiducial diameter of 1mm- we use a 3mm diameter keepout zone. This works very well for us. If the surface finish changes the li

We are considering replacing the lighting used in our manufacturing area. This is the overhead lighting, not task lighting for workstations. Currently, we have long strips of fluorscent light pairs that are spaced about 20 feet apart. The ceiling

Hi all, I just wave soldered 40 boards (20 if Imm Sn and 20 of Imm Ag) using SAC 305 (in this case the wave machine manufacturer (electrovert) suggested the alloy too). plan to carry out x-sectioning to see the results. overall, just from the visual

We're looking into ways to better protect components adjacent to reworked ones with our Air-Vac. I've seen a few recommendations involving aluminum tape and other masking materials, but am looking for better recommendations. I noticed Alpha Metals

If you are sure that your part data is correct, have you checked the calibration of Z origin? Are the parts leaving an impression on the paste or is there no indication of an attempted place. How small of resistors are we talking 0402, 0603, 0805?
