12% Off All SMT Assembly Equipment At ManncorpDirect.com Until June 30 Only

Posted by Mike Schwartz, Marketing Director of Manncorp

Manncorp is anticipating a record number of first-time visitors and customers to its new e-commerce website, www.manncorpdirect.com, thanks to an across-the-board 12% price reduction, in effect through June 30 only.

In announcing the cut, CEO Henry Mann stated, "This will be welcome news for companies with an immediate need for PCB assembly equipment. It’s also an opportunity for our old and new customers to experience the savings and convenience of a B-to-B e-commerce site that is virtually unique in the EMS industry."

Manncorpdirect.com showcases selected machines from the company’s existing lines of surface mount and through-hole products, with descriptions, specifications and reportedly lower prices that are instantly accessible. According to the CEO, fast delivery is obtainable for most systems, including stencil printers, bench-top reflow ovens and wave solder machines, plus PCB depanelers, conveyors, SMT component counters, through-hole lead formers, desiccant cabinets and more. "This is our answer to cheap and unreliable gray market imports with no after-the-sale support. We fulfill or exceed customer expectations with products that perform as advertised and are backed with warranties and a continuous availability of spare parts. Assistance, if needed, is always available by e-mail, phone or text," he stated. "Furthermore, our user manuals are in English and shipping is expedited from our San Diego warehouse."

"Our new site is an opportunity to secure quality machines quickly from a trusted source. However, manncorp.com will continue to remain a key site for higher-throughput equipment that often requires pre-sale application assistance from our engineers and/or installation and onsite training."

Manncorp Turnkey Serves As ACI’s Demo Line For SMT Assembly Training

Posted by Mike Schwartz, Marketing Director of Manncorp

Manncorp has installed an SMT equipment line at American Competitive Institute that is being used for both actual PCB assembly in-house and as a training facility for ACI’s "Boot Camp" teaching programs. The line utilizes Manncorp’s popular automated turnkey, now known as the "ACI Best Seller".

This line was chosen for its flexibility in performing high-mix assembly with long or short run capability. The equipment package includes the dual-head, conveyorized MS392 pick and place with speed of 5,500 cph and ability to mount SMDs down to 01005 and connectors up to 150 x 100mm. Also included is the MC-1400 automatic stencil printer; the lead-free CR5000F convection reflow oven with KIC Auto Focus Power software, and the CT-90L inline inspection conveyor. The line is priced at $139,995 complete. For details, access ACI Best Seller.

"Our turnkey line is being fully utilized by ACI to train personnel of their client companies in advanced SMT assembly technique. It will also allow our techs to demo our equipment in face-to-face meetings with prospects and customers – who will build their proprietary boards in real time," stated CEO Henry Mann. He reports that the ACI Best Seller line is also being shown at Manncorp’s San Diego location, 888.PIK.MANN (745.6266).

ACI’s 10,000-square-foot facility adjacent to Philadelphia’s International Airport is dedicated to the advancement of the electronics industry, as well as research and development of various electronic manufacturing methods and materials. ACI is associated with the US Navy’s Electronics Manufacturing Productivity Facility (EMPF).

Question:

Mixed Technology - Which First
We have just put in place our first assembly line and are assembling a mixed technology circuit board. We assemble the through hole section first using our wave system, then the SMT parts using a reflow process.
Is it always done in this order? Can the order be reversed?
S. S.

Answer:

You could potentially run the through hole first. However, you should read the specs on the components beforehand. Many through-hole components are not compatible with SMT because they simply cannot take the heat of the reflow oven without being damaged.

But it all depends on the boards you build. If they are single sided I would always run SMT first then go to a stuff line for the operators to put in through-hole parts. Then I would run it in the wave.

It's a little different if you run double-sided boards. In those cases, I would run the boards as normal in the reflow with one exception: On the simple side of the board -- typically the bottom side -- I would glue the through-hole components to the board.( I define "simple" to mean mostly resistors and capacitors.)

After the glue cures and exits the reflow oven,send the board to the stuff line with the leads protruding from the simple side of the board. If yours is a dual wave machine, the SMDs and through-hole parts will be soldered simultaneously on the pass.

If both sides of the board are extremely complex you can continue the procedure you are now following so long as parts are not being damaged. Better yet, invest in aselective soldering machine. Most have around a 1mm keep-away and can solder through-hole parts easily.
