OK Jon, now let me speak hypothetically. We are in agreeance that bulk feeding can save money through increased machine up time. If this cost savings alone could pay for the bulk feeders (it is just a matter of time before it would) and the minimum

I do not know about the cost issues but as I recall the tolerances are tighter on bulk components and this usually means higher cost. I cannot find my bulk feeding summit information but these links give you some idea what was discussed. I don't kn

Hi Gee, It seems funny to comment on your own post. I notice that the original poster and a respondent, like me, are striving to create some voiding by design to improve the way this joint will form. NEAT!! I still think that those vias as DaveF p

If you are facing problem of craked capacitor only after breaking of the panel into individual PCB's, this may be due to stress being generated on the capacitors terminals. The stress may be due excess pressure being applied on the panel for breaking

Don't forget placement. I"ve seen chips broken when they are being placed because they were thicker than the parts data used for them. This is not an issue on Panasonic machines because they measure the thickness of parts but I have seen it happen

For all of the ranting about "sales-types" using the forum inappropriately, it's nice that some of those types get IT. So if you rant when people behaving poorly, then you must praise people when perform well. This is over-due. Hats off to Mike,

The assembly process involves activity before you get to reflow. Reflowing is the easy part. Putting paste down and placing parts in wet paste is the terrifying part. Benchtop reflow ovens can be a real handy tool for small production but with the g

Hi Enrique, I don't remember all the energy levels that make the techniques you or your associates are using, effective. Each energy level yields information that must be understood is the best that I should give. HEY Based on my comment, does this

Please inspect the pcb were the components were "lost" Check if the glue dots were lef on the PCB.If so you have a component which has been contaminated.If the dots dont appear on the PCB,which is the more common of the 2,there is an adhesion problem

Hi I don't know of anything special in the ways of dispensing since they don't normally care about the differences of UV or Conductive or pastiness. The only difference is WHAT you are striving to do with the adhesive and how the adhesive moves as
