You should be able to do it with the proper epoxy. I found one several years ago that was so strong during the sheer test the board delaminated and gave before the glue. I did not go with it for rework reasons, that�s something you might want to th

MoonMan, Although I did make an obscure criticism about your "on the fence" association with SMTNET it was simply made to catch your attention. I know you have done and, most likely, still want to do consulting work. I figured you would make an ambig

The SMT LAB at Universal Instruments Corp. has presented a paper entitled "Process parameters optimization for mass reflow of 02\01 components" at APEX 2000. If you weren't able to attend, an excerpt is available at www.UIC.com, under the AUTOMATION

Armin, Wolfey, Dave, Jeff, and some others I remember well who have moved on too (way too many to count but all left unfufilled here), I am back. No, just kidding. I still look in from time to time. All of you on the forum are great. I simply decide

Boca- I can enlighten you on the dental floss thing, but first you must provide a $40 bill to satisfy the insatiable Humm sisters. Beyond that, you gotta raise some bees, grab some trusty zircon encrusted tweezers (any self respecting SMTer would onl

Steve, Great to see from you again, as so very many times before? New folks always welcome on the forum. You and Dave are management's big hope for success to attract more advertising. Can't wait to see what you have to ask Mr. Harper, if that happe

Charles, This theory normally occurs when the machines being used have a CAM style pick-up mechanism( ex. FUJI-CP series). One of the many things that determine cam speed is how many parts out of a single feeder will be picked( It has to build up sp

Peter: This isn't what you asked for (I think), but it may be neater. Source of SMT links (jumpers): Most resistor suppliers make zero ohm resistors. Size � 8mm - 10mm (.312in -.4in) long: Most resistor suppliers package these resistors in comm

Which wave solder flux are you using and what types of preheaters did you have on both your old econopak and your new vectra? From my past experience, an alcohol-based flux does NOT work well with Convection style preheaters....the flux burned off t

Jack, No need to get frustrated. There is not an optimization software made that will end up with a program that runs faster than doing the same program manually. There are too many ways to speed up production for the software to consider. Even if it
