Have you heard of a customer who blamed the PCBs for poor
fillet formation - inspite of complete wetting of land and another one who said
that solder bridging on DIP was solely on account of the PCBs.- when the shop
floor had sub optimal wave soldering process with cards going on the wave at 70
degC.- an dthe machine open to air draft - in front of a window at
that.
It takes all kinds - But Werner hit the nail on the head - to
add - with increased productivity ( lesser people working longer
hours) there is no time to stand and stare and of course the great ISO
systems that need corrective action reports and source of defect to be
marked on a paper - the fall guy is the stupid PCB fab guy - who is of
course far away - the end is find a new fab guy and that solves the problem
which solves itself

Hi Paul,
Don't knock my 5-iron, it's my favorite--now my
2-iron, that one I leave in
the garage.
Now, if you quote Dan Quayle,
you have to give at least equal time to Bill
Clinton--do YOU know "what the
definition if 'is' is"?
The problem with our industry is that after all
that down-sizing and
out-sourcing the OEM's no longer have any in-house
expertise, the PCB and
assembly vendors work on such tight margins that
relatively little 'thinking'
can be afforded--and so things go wrong.
Things wind up in
litigation/arbitration, which make lawyers rich (expert
witnesses, like me,
somewhat less so), and are generally unsatisfactory as
far as really solving
problems is concerned.
Have fun down
under!
Werner
