Hello, We are currently trying to design and ultimately implement a system that will be able to count and manage component placement for three Sanyo chipshooters on three SMT lines. As the number of components decreases in the reels we want to be ab

Barney, We currently have 3 Contact Systems machines, (1) C3AV and (2) C3AVXs and I can't say enough good things about the machines or the support. It has always, always been there since we started dealing with them in 1991. The Service Dept personn

If there are parts "non-identifiable" then you don't know their cost. Parts under a certain cost you don't worry about. That leaves only category "A" parts to concern yourself with. Know your attrition rates especially for parts over a certain cos

| Cpk's on top flight ovens (e.g., Conceptronics, Heller, Electrovert, Vitronics) vary wildly, from 1 to 2+, between different supplers. The suppliers don't seem to understand Cpk's. A supplier's rep whose oven has a Cpk of 1.0 told me: | 1. Cpk's

As the Americas distributor, there's a chance that I'm severly biased here but even with that, you should check out the Cluso Vision System for FAI. I've worked with many AOI platforms over the years, back even when each machine shipped with it's own

I've heard of a series of labels that absorb moisture at different rates and/or change appearance when a specific saturation level is reached. If such labels exist and if they could be correlated to the exposure limits of specific moisture sensitivit

We use a fairly simple system. IPC put out standards 7912A and 9261A to define opportunities. Basicly the "number of components" + "number of solder joints" = "number of opportunities." Some six sigma benchmarking studies indicated "Sigma Level" =

Hello gregp, IPC released 9850 on October 22, 2002 after the industry came together to standardize a method to determine placement capability as it relates to placement speed. As I'm sure you are aware, the standard gives placement machine manufactur
