In a step-by-step fashion, "Applied Surface Mount Assembly" shows professionals how to set up and operate any surface mount proceedure, as well as how to refine the processes and keep them under control on a daily basis. The book covers surface mount components, from printed circuit boards, design for manufacturability, screen printing and component placing to soldering, cleaning, rework, process flow and facility layout. All areas are covered in detail from the practical perspectives of setup, operation, and maintenance. This book should be of interest to manufacturing engineers, component and layout engineers, quality engineers, engineering managers and machine operators.
