We are a medium sized CM with a HUGE product mix. Lot's of prototyping. As a result, we see a lot of cut tape on consignment kits and turnkey jobs where there's no confidence in repeat business. Purchasing is under instructions to buy full reals w

Grant, Newer lead-free fluxes have 6%-10% solids content - more activator, therefore leave more "visible" residues. Old technology tin-lead fluxes got down to as low as around the 4%-6% range (I'm going off memory, so me might be wrong)... You'll

We are a small CM doing mostly prototype and small production runs SMT and PTH. We have an old Hollis machine works well when we need it. The foam level does not come up to the board level, even with the air cranked up full. We are using a synthetic

We also use PS-094 sized labels, and they don't give us any problems. I'm sure you're way ahead of me on this, but just in case, make sure that the sensor is lined up with the notches beside the labels and not the round holes on the edge of the roll

Hi, We had issues withthese parts when we first ran them thru our process. As the other lads have said - reduce thermal pad by 35-40%. ( we achieve this by using a dot matrix) . We also offset the lead apertures by 3thou ( i.e sort of overprinting)

Of that list, I've only worked with Panasonic. Complex, fast chipshooters but noisy, a little clunky on the operator interface but the MSH's were vintage 1997 or so. The MPAV2B wasn't as accurate as I think it should have been but it got the job done

I worked for a similar company. They had 4 GSM's. Most all of the GSM's software have a fairly straight forward way of importing data, it is just a matter of formating it correctly. I can't imaging using calipers to make a GSM placement program if

I won't even guess, but I would suggest that if you don't get much help here (pretty tough question), you might try dogging somebody at IPC. They seem to have a pretty good handle on that kind of stuff. All I know for sure is that we shipped a worki
