Everything To Know About Foreign Object Debris And How To Avoid It

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) is any material that does not belong in a manufacturing process and can cause problems if not removed. FOD can cause clogging of machinery, quality issues, and even injuries. Foam packaging can also create FOD by breaking off, static discharge, or degradation. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are susceptible to damage from FOD and can cause problems such as shorts, corrosion, and electrical interference. Kleanstat Flex is an alternative cushioning material that offers air cushioning without the debris created by foam, and it can be custom ordered and printed with logos or information.

Everything You Need to Know About SMT Pick and Place Machines

SMT (surface mount technology) pick and place machines are used in manufacturing and assembly lines to place small parts into a larger assembly. These machines come in batch and in-line automated versions, and the cost can vary based on size and features. They offer a high degree of accuracy and consistency for SMT components, making them ideal for assembly line production. Batch pick and place equipment is suitable for low volume SMT requirements, while in-line pick and place machines are fully automated and optimized for each PCB. Using pick and place equipment can reduce labor costs and improve productivity, as well as control inventory and fulfill orders quickly. The main components of a pick and place machine include a holder for the bare PCB, component feeders, a pick and place head with vacuum pick up nozzles, and a program or instructions for each PCB. There are also different types of pick and place machines, including high-speed machines, precision machines, and modular machines.

Antistatic Packaging The Safest Way to Protect Your Product

As a business owner, you are always looking for ways to improve your products and services. One way to do this is to use antistatic packaging. Antistatic packaging can help to protect your products from static electricity, which can damage them. Static electricity can build up on products when they are shipped or stored in certain environments. This can happen when the products are moved from one place to another, or when they are stored in a humid or dusty environment. Antistatic packaging can help to prevent this from happening by providing a barrier between the product and the environment.
