Hell as for storing the used paste have someone bring in baby jars. Yes I agree thats alot of wasted money if you throw it away every day. Plus since I'm on the subject why not use a bottle warmer? I persoanlly store our paste in a mini-fridge (along

We have definitely seen money saved. There is a lot less rework after reflow. Money is also saved in overtime. for example...when we are building a first article board with many placements, it is not always possible to get the first board through the

Three methods, all work, all require generous use of flux. 1.) Use a heated, electrical desoldering tool with flux. Just be sure that you select a forgiving desoldering tip with a rounded tip end to it so that you do not scratch the pad. Advantage:

Hi Vernon! Yeah, you're right. I tried to put a number in place of the "-" thing and it worked. Anyway, thanks for your concern. One thing that's bugging me is the generation of machine programs for a new product. Its been a tedious job for me to man

Thanks everyone for all the input. All of our stencils do have the PCB # etched on the foil but when operators look for the stencils they are looking for the part # on the frame since they are all stored vertically in a couple of Remstar shuttles and

We have a DEK 260 with a intermittent table align stepper motor problem. The machine will work fine for awhile and then one of the table align motors starts either moving haphazardly in small increments back and forth or vibrates as if it wants to mo

Let's go for Ugly..... I've used these in the past for attaching connectors to boards and tabbed Transistors to extruded Aluminum heatsinks with mixed results. The concept is great but, in practice there are some headaches to deal with. We've gotten

Need some feedback here. We're running a foam fluxer using WS chemistry (AIM 715M). We have been running almost exclusively .062 and a few .093" PCBs but we've recently started running some boards that are .100 and .125 thickness and are having tro

I think with any feeder your going to loose parts. After running the five most popular pick and place machines all I can say is, TAPE. Have your operators tape the reel after they remove it from the feeder. It coasts more in ESD tape and it�s a pain

Hi, The MYDATA is a very flexible machine, however it's slow as a chip shooter, and really needs Myspeed to work to get as much speed as possible. It's also wasteful to get chip placement speed because you need to repeat feeders of the same componen
