lundyoutu: That is really quite rude. This chap isn't a TV presenter, he is a passionate, Australian engineer, with the mannerisms and accent to match.

If you haven't got something nice to say, don't say it at all, if you don't like it, don't watch.

@migsantiago this was a long time ago, but if you are still curious it's called a "bed of nails" because it has tons of test pins that check all the traces and connections.

@Films4You that what happens if you're a student in China, if you make a single mistake, you will go to a sweat shop (eg. Nike, PCB assembly,& plastic poduct facotries)

Does the solder-wave machine use heat? For example, if the PCB has surface parts on the bottom side as well, wouldn't the wave affect those components' solder?

Also, in the first tour, since the pick and place machine does not include any solder, do the parts ever shift or move slightly as it's moved to the reflow oven? How is the temperature profile determined?

@lundyoutu (continued) is so great

and @pytey

"If you haven't got something nice to say, don't say it at all"

this is extremely bad advice to give and bad for you to say

first it discourage negative constructive comments

this is called shooting the messenger

and second by saying that you are preventing potentially valuable information from reaching you, it's a double whammy of bad management and it is an extremely common mistake that even I do sometimes

it's never pleasant to hear that but
