PanaPro System

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

Thru_hole component placement

Electronics Forum | Thu Feb 02 17:39:33 EST 2006 | slthomas

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

Solderability test method (LF) for bare PCB brd

Electronics Forum | Mon Jan 23 03:12:13 EST 2006 | adeline_ko

The FA department is using IPC or J-STD-003 to do the solderability test for the leaded PCB FA qualification. Class A. However, there is no mention of Lead free testing for the PCB bare brd. Can anyone advise whether IPC has release a solderability

Conformal Coat (Urethane) & bubbles

Electronics Forum | Tue Jan 24 21:07:17 EST 2006 | davef

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

Best contrast for Fiducials

Electronics Forum | Tue Jan 24 11:26:09 EST 2006 | russ

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

Manufacturing Area Lighting

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 25 22:42:23 EST 2006 | davef

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

Lead free tin copper only

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

Air-Vac (or other brand) rework protection

Electronics Forum | Fri Jan 27 12:42:51 EST 2006 | rohman23

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

cp6 missing small parts

Electronics Forum | Tue Jan 31 03:34:50 EST 2006 | chadnugent79

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?

SMTassembly training videos or books

Electronics Forum | Sat Jan 28 15:01:07 EST 2006 | gipos

Hi all, It is obvious that people starting with SMT assembly can not easily get training courses. User manuals are not suficient.Small companies buying used SMT machines are very interested in training books and videos. Is there any source of decent
