RM 103: SMT Assembly Equipment for Low Volume Applications
SMT Assembly Equipment for Low Volume Applications
Today, we’re going to talk about low-volume electronic assembly. We all know who the “big players” are when it comes to solder paste printers, pick and place machines, reflow ovens and other assembly equipment. But what choices does one have if they need to produce low-volumes of electronic assemblies such as prototypes and other low volume applications?
Let’s face it, most assemblers can’t justify a multi-million-dollar production line for low volume production. One solution may be to outsource the production to a contract manufacturer but there are specific circumstances which may prevent that. In today’s episode, we’ll review some of the equipment options for low-volume SMT production and we’ll see if the barrier to entry for in-house assembly is lower than one might think. My guest today is Ed Stone.
Ed is a sales manager at Manncorp, a provider of SMT assembly equipment for the EMS industry. Manncorp was founded 55 years ago back in 1967. Just imagine how much our industry has changed over the past 55 years! I’d love to say Ed has been there from the beginning, but I think the company is a little bit older than Ed.

QDD 074 Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Supplements Test
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Supplements Test
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is not a substitute for product test.
It can be used as a supplement to design and test.
There are lots of ways to use it during design: to evaluate differences in prototype options, as test inputs, and even to help with root cause analysis.
We talk about FEA and when to work with Quality Engineers and Reliability Engineers for next steps.
Being a Great Reliability Engineer
Being a Great Reliability Engineer
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
What is it that makes the difference between good and great related to reliability engineers? What is the magic element that separates those who can carry out tasks such as facilitating an FMEA or designing and analyzing an ALT from those who impact an organization’s culture? A good impact that improves the organization’s ability to create reliable products.

QDD 073 2 Lessons about Remote Work for Design Engineers
2 Lessons about Remote Work for Design Engineers
Cross-functional teamwork is so important for product design. Our team is integral in understanding all of our customer’s needs: internal and external customers.
Remote work and social distancing have affected how we do our work, and how we communicate with our cross-functional team. Now, we’re starting to get back into “normal’ routines.
There are important lessons learned about the way we work. We talk about just a couple of perspectives that could affect how design engineers work.
