MyData machines will do this.  Is this part placed by Hydra or Midas (for Midas, mechanical centering or vision)?  Part presentation in the feeder is the most likely cause.  Adjust magazine trim in the Y-direction, easier with Agilis.  Try to tighten your package data to reject this condition.
 
Careful observation should allow determination of the root cause.  Although this can take awhile with a 'rare occurrence'.
 
Does this happen across all 805 packages, or is it limited to a particular part or vendor? 
 
Good Luck,

Subject: [TN] Sideways Resistors


Technetters,

I'm not sure if others see this situation, but it's a somewhat rare occurrence when we see some resistors, like 0805's, soldered on their sides.  Though it's not a defect per the conditions of IPC-A-610, I am still curious as to the root cause.  I don't know if they somehow get placed on their side or if they get pulled up that way during soldering.  Our P&P machine is a Mydata MY15, we use no-clean with reflow in air, HASL boards, 6 mil stencil w/ homeplate apertures.  

Any thoughts?
