Not all OSPs are created equal. Some companies use N2 in their reflow oven to minimize oxidation during reflow. This is for double sided reflow and if wave or selective solder will be done after reflow. Get extra boards from the vendor to test. Run t

If you are talking actual placement rate- from first fiducial read of board no. 1 to first fiducial read of board no. 2, here is the best I've ever seen based on the boards I've run: CP3- 141 seconds for 468 components per board (all rectangular chi

snip | Ryan, | | The only advive I got is just don't do it!. Dave's right the grain growth in it is pretty bad. the other thing you got to look at is how much heat is the board gonna produce in it's working life..??? and where is it gonna be used,

Hi Long, Cmiller is right, check out the vendors and ask for lots of info, they'll flood you with it. You also mite ask to see their equipment working in a facility near you. Also check out IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001. Get to know the different termi

One very important consideration in your situation is to determine if you have moisture sensitive components on these boards. If you have any device classified level 3 or higher then you have a very high level of risk associated with moisture sensit

| WOULD LIKE TO DO RELOW OF 2 SIDED SMT BOARDS. USUALLY THE BOTTOM SIDE HAS RESISTORS AND CAPS ONLY. WHEN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD HEATS UP, THE PARTS ARE FREE TO MOVE AND ONLY SURFACE TENSION WILL KEEP THE COMPONENT FROM FALLING OFF. | CAN BOARDS BE

Stoney, One thing you might do before you start dispensing epoxy, (...I know this might be a bit of a pain) is to run your boards on the mesh belt instead of the edge-rail conveyer. I used to have to do that with some very,very dense double sided mem

The 3000 hours is correct. It was a VERY fast ROI! Back to the discussions on the earlier threads, some of this information is correct. If you exceed the design limitations for keep out requirements and your board tolerances vary, you can have twe
