It just baffles me as to why a vendor would use, of all things, an arrow as a trademark in the first place. Then stick it on the oppossite side of another marker to boot! I swear, sometimes the way some parts are marked, it's like the manufacterer i

Hi We have an Eclipse and Orion Pick and place which we are familiarizing ourselves with. I have lots of feeders, but many that don't seam to act fast enough for the ORION, but I think are OK on the Eclipse. The manuals have pretty good informatio

Hi Well as the feed movement is effected by means of a spring return force there really isn't that much to do apart from checking the spring tension and keeping the friction surfaces of the ratchet mechanisms of the feed sprocket and the top foil pu

If these are similar to the earlier CSM feeders, there are several things to check. The cover plate that holds the tape on the sprocket can be adjusted slightly by eccentrics to accomodate thicker tapes. It the cover is too tight, there will be bin

I'm new at this and any help will be appreciated. I received cad data from a customer and need to get it loaded into a Topaz system. The data is for a single board but the production board is panelized and has edge rails. This means that the actual

The actual solder joint occurs BETWEEN the part and the pad. Adding more solder on top will add strength slightly, just by being in the way when you pull on it sideways. A weak joint with a weeks worth of solder on it will still be weak. Solder is

Have you considered developing your own wave solder super-trooper? * Training course at your equipmemt supplier or daylong on-site training by equipment supplier field service * Training at ACI / EMPF or someplace like that * On-line training at a pl

Patrick...I'll give you a couple of examples. Wave Soldering, the Science: you're getting solder shorts and you slow your belt speed down just a bit knowing that this effectively lowers your contact length and improves your peel-back for that tou

Grayman, Respectfully, you are off base. Many US companies pay their best engineers FAR more than any managers other than their executive VPs. Exceptional tchnical skill, absent management ability, IS rewarded VERY highly here in the US. in the past
