What do you all think about Cookson trying to sell off their Speedline division? I was just about to purchase an Electrovert Aquastorm 100 but now I am not so sure. Does anyone here have an Austin American in-line wash? Looking for feedback as the

Acetone is likely not compatible with several component types, the evaporation charactoristics are desirable. IPA is more compatible, though, may not solubilize the residues. Austin American Technology developed MegaSolv JB and MegaSolv NOC for the

Hi Ralf, This discoloration may be re-oxidation. Fluxes are supposed to do three things (1) remove oxide, (2) promote wetting, and (3) protect surface from reoxidation. The solder paste possibly is not protecting from reoxidation. Best Regards, St

and one more thought about your original question, if the flux does look really strange and out of place, then inspect the reflow oven. A great amount of flux condensation in the reflow oven's cooling zone can cause crystalized flux to become airbor

Have you considered mounting this component after the assembly has been washed. Then, mounting the component and cleaning its solder joints individually. Alternatively, have you considered using alternative cleaning solutions to a saponifier (and a

The propensity for flux residues to cause shorts can be increased in humid environments where water molecules hydrate the surfaces. At high frequencies, electrons travel on the surface of conductors/insulators, increasing the likelihood of shorts in

One thing to take into consideration with EDC is their service. They have down sized their work force and I have had numerous problems trying to schedule or obtain service support. I have switched our EDC batch cleaner with Austin American Technologi

I have run into this problem with used equipment that I purchased. Many times I have been unable to buy parts for used equipment. The manufacturer wants to charge some inspection and upgrade fee prior to supporting a used piece of equipment with se

I know for a fact that DEK will charge you $3,500 a year if you want parts and/or phone support for a used printer that you bought on the open market. Electrovert wants $5,000 per machine for any support for used equipment purchased from the open mar
