Pick and Place Machine PM

I was doing a little work recently with a customer who had a PM coming up for his pick and place machine. I told him about Techspray and how they had most everything he needed for doing a PM on his machine. So I thought I might pass that information onto you. Consider this your PM toolkit.

For your convenience I’ve also included links to brochures/datasheets for each product as a hyperlink beneath each product.

All of these products are usually stocked locally with your favorite distributor. (EIS, HMC, Newark, Stanley, Techni-tool, etc.)

Let's Try This One More Time

The image did not display in the last post. Let's try this again. If
it doesn't work this time I'll just give up and use text only for
mobile posts.

Mobile Posts

I may start mobile blogging. This will be useful when I'm at a trade show or a sales meeting and I want to get exciting information out as quickly as possible.

In order to mobile blog, I need to set it up first with a test post. Here's a picture I took of a brochure I had sitting on my desk.

State of the Blog

So for the paste 6 months or so I’ve abandoned the blog. It wasn’t coming together right for me and I was disappointed with my efforts. When I put energy into something I don’t want to do it half way. I can only measure whether or not something is being done half way by the goals I place around it.

In my first e-mail update that I sent to you I made a promise that I would keep this blog useful and not bore you with information that you would not find beneficial. Well I wasn’t pleased with the information I was putting into the blog and so I abandoned it.

I’ve now realized that was not the appropriate action either. So now I’m back. I’ve decided that in addition to announcements that my principles make, I will also be highlighting key technologies that tools that you should know about.

I believe whole heartedly that no matter how smart we are or how old we get that we should NEVER stop learning. So, the new format of this blog will be about learning and sharing. I’m going to enable comments and I encourage them. Good, bad, or indifferent, let’s keep it clean, start some good debates, and let’s grow our common knowledge.
