Both are equally efficient process control tools. Neither is particularly effective in testing ionic contamination. The best way to sell your customer on allowing you to do this is to show them that you understand the WHOLE process and are able

Q1: Will the ion chromatography be able to identify and quantify the contaminant? A1: Yes, it will identify and quantify the amount of contaminant. Obviously this is very useful in troubleshooting the source of the contaminant. [The only problem fo

In the last 6 months or so we all of a sudden started having a placing problem on PLCC28 components. We are stumped, and Fuji is stumped. Has anyone ever seen this before ? (This is on a CP43) Here is what we have tried and verified: �� Nozzle def

Thanks, That's the direction i'm headed. After by passing relay altogeather, testing large caps for the driver supply, replacing bridge rectifiers, and the MOV's, that's about all im left with. The vacuum motor will run with the software toggle witho

I'm looking for advise on setting up a prototype station for smt (we are currently outsourcing smt production, but have a need for rapid in house prototyping). The station must be able to handle only single sided boards with components no smaller th

You are not giving the dimensions of the space to be used by your machines. So it's impossible to know what we are working with. But here is scenario for a very small floor space assuming that you can't have the equipment in a single line: I am ass

Assemblers often assume that the board and component suppliers provide them with clean product. This was not a problem when everyone used water washable fluxes, because the water washing used to clean the flux residues also cleaned the board and com

Hi Serge, First of all: "i HAVE to buy"...? Sounds like someone is twisting your arm to buy a piece of iron you're not really enthousiastic about... But on a serious note: I've been comparing some machinery myself (also with Pana and Siemens) and I

I respect your statements about the FCM-I but only partially. Yes it was meant for ONLY HIGH VOLUMES, but in those cases, it has proved to be a masterpeice. Talk to those who've used the machines for 70000 hours or so. I have customers here that're u

Vinit- I hate to burst your bubble regarding the FCM-1's but they will go down in history as probably the biggest platform failure in this business...based on re-sale value. For a million dollar machine to reach a level of re-sale of only $10K-$20K
