Hi guys,
I've been going over various catalogs, when I found this:
http://www.richardsonrfpd.com/resources/RellDocuments/SYS_10/inductor_products.pdf (http://www.richardsonrfpd.com/resources/RellDocuments/SYS_10/inductor_products.pdf)
I'd love to see the process, the machine that does something fine like that. A quick search turned out nothing. Would anyone have a link to a video on it?
That's insanely small - it would be easily imaginable by photoetching or a similar process, but actual winding? Neet!
Thanks,
David

You have seen nothing yet. There are "0201" component wire wounds and I have replaced quite a bit of those on some of the customer boards :-BROKE

You think that's small have a look at these. http://www.benatav.com/?categoryId=84153 (http://www.benatav.com/?categoryId=84153)
These people will supply you a machine to wind such coils. http://www.microcoiler.com/ (http://www.microcoiler.com/)

Here is good example where those ultra small form factor components are used and I have to fix products with these parts... And you can trust mantis ain't your tool with these parts.
I think the inch size is 01005, in metric 0402.

That reminds me I forgot to take picture of the stereo microscope needed to rework these kind products |O
Oh well maybe tomorrow
I wonder if/when you start to have skills to rework these parts by hand, can you apply for Swiss watch crafting school?

I have reworked 01005 components by hand under a x10 Mantis. Perhaps I should apply to watch school? :)

My eyes are too old and although I don't have the shakes my dexterity is not what it once was. This is a job for younger engineers.
