There is no standard, nor should there be. You need to establish a standard that meets your customer requirements. The problem with those old-timey standard is that there's just so many choices. What works for you just might be too strict [or loose]

KIC 24/7 has evolved into RPI. Not only will it give you virtual profiles, it also gives you DPMO and yield, based where each board lands in the process window. The good thing about this software, you can go back a year later and look up a specific

Do you see any issues with grid lock on double sided boards? My concern is that you set it up for the first board second side (populated side down) then you might have parts that aren't exacly at the same height on the next boards due to shifting or

We use Hilman rollers (Hilmanrollers-mf.com) and/or pallet jacks. Printers and smaller P&P machines can be moved with pallet jacks. Large machines such as chipshooters require rollers and man power but you'd be amazed what you can push around on Hi

If your pick and place can handle the part placements, you are most of the way there. X-Ray for Inspection of BGA and other bottom terminations = $60K(USD) and up. BGA Rework Station $40K and up. You can reball most any BGA with your Rework station.

I've had a CM202DHU since new (10 years) and it is a very reliable piece of kit. I wouldn't be happy placing 0201's but if you use 110 nozzles it is capable. Just make sure that you always line up the feeders prior to running or all you'll here is mi

Have you got some modern software to load the unit. My program PCB Synergy can do some of the Panasonic formats but not this one. It takes less than a day to write if you have some files for me to reverse engineer and the file you read it from. Any
