Improved Efficiency Using Root Cause Failure Analysis

A PCB fails final test. Why? Was it the solder paste? The screen printer? The PCB assembly machine? The reflow oven or none of the above? Unplanned downtime is a costly fact of life. In order t .. read more

Poor Metrology: The Hidden Cost

Doing more with less has been the standard operating procedure in manufacturing over the past ten years. Everyone is looking for areas where they can cut corners,maintain quality,and improve pr .. read more

Results from 2007 Industry Defect Level and Test Effectiveness Studies

To select an optimal test strategy,good knowledge of defect levels and test effectiveness are two very important factors to include. In 1999 an industry defect level study was completed and was .. read more

Broadband Printing – A Paradigm

The SMT industry is going through a challenging phase of assembling miniature components,such as micro BGA,0.3mm CSP and 01005 passives onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). This effort is primari .. read more

How to Achieve 40 Microns (1.6 Mil) Placement Spacing with E01005/M0402

When trying to achieve 40 microns of placement spacing,bridges and tombstones may occur due to the variation of the component dimensions,equipment accuracy and pickup position variations. Hawse .. read more

Closed-Loop Process Control in the Solder Paste Printing Process

Over the last several years there has been a great deal of advancement in post-print inspection technology. The capability to inspect printed solder paste deposits immediately after the printin .. read more
