I have worked with Macola, MAS90 now BPCS ("B-Pics"). They are ALL expensive too. To me the MAS software had the best interface and was "easier" to teach an operator who needed to pull up a BOM for a job or to see about missing/short kit items. I

The specific answer depends on what your specific application includes. #1: What are you removing? (solder paste, adhesives) #2: What are you cleaning? (stencils, screens, misprints, pallets) #3: What type of machine are you using? (Spray-in

Machine rotation is usually based off of component presentation. for example an SO8 can come in either tape and reel and sticks. In tape and reel the component is presented to the machine with pin one at the lower left corner while the stick will hav

We have struggled with this as well. Basically, we have a consistent rotation for all packages of the same type, but I don't think our rotation has anything to do with the actual rotation that the PnP equipment actually wants to see. I believe our

Forgive the non-SMT question. That's why I hate through hole boards. Has anyone ever used Bareco wax on pressfit connectors, and how do you produce a consistent process for its application? Any drawbacks? Background: We have found a design issue with

I am looking for suggestions for software for use in productions scheduling. I want my senior assembler to be able to enter the projects that are upcoming or ongoing so that I know when certain builds are finished. That way I know when the boards a

Hi I don't mean to be offensive, so bear with me. Also I might really be off for what I think you intend. As I read what you want to do, maybe you do want something that is a bit unique for a manufacturing situation. You seem to be more focussed o

I want to efficiently manage the time and jobs that the staff do...yes. Calender puppets??? Whatever! I have had some more luck in finding packages that do what I want. The software package WallChart seems to do what I want although I have only lo

Thanks Mr.Dave. Sorry for the delay. One of our major prolems in ENIG plated surface is that wire does not stick. For many years we were getting a bond strength of 14 grams in both ENIG and electroplated surfaces. Now one vendor supplies ENIG boards

I've never heard of a customer saying just 'we want decoupling caps'. Very interesting. In RF applications - frequencies 50MHz up into several GHz, the location of where they are put is just as important as what the value is. Decoupling caps are p
