Hello Technet: Well, the Electrical Engineers did it to me again! They're designing an assembly consisting of a Teflon surface mount board .005" thick, approximately 1.5 x 1.7", with 320 components! The component mix is mostly 0402's (resistors, caps and inductors) and 30 SOT-363s. Does anyone have any suggestions as how to automate this assembly process?
