No, we don't have this problem. However, at the pick and place operation, we have some metalic labels that peel off from ICs, so the nozzle only picks the label instead of the part. ---------- From: TechNet-request To: TechNet Subject: Label Specs Date: 29 May, 1997 14:42 Hi All, This past week there were a couple of messages sent regarding label specs. I would be interested to find out why you are looking for specs on labels for programmed ICs. We are currently having problems placing programmed ICs with labels. It looks like the label reduces the vacuum if the label is place such that the edge is across the nozzle which causes pickup problems. Also for those parts where this is not a problem the label material itself is so smooth that when the nozzle rotates for placement the part actually rotates on the nozzle. Are these the problems others are seeing? *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
