See what happens when you take a couple of days off? Your theory sounds reasonable, but someone else could make an equally valid case that you are blasting your solder plug across the room with the force of the expansion of entapped air between th

Hi DaveF and Brian Doyle Here is my two cents, and a change in my previosuly posted thoughts about control. Before we all go wild with alot of police work and programming, how about simply posting basic forum rules at the top of the main conference

Sam- It all depends on what and how many boards you're trying to build that will determine if gantry or turret is the way to go. I like gantry machines and have been impressed by their increased performances over the last few years but they still hav

I wouldn't raise the temps just slow the conveyor, You need to get the PCB "soaked in". It seems as if you are applying more thermal energy than the PCB can accept in all areas. Does this oven have convection heating? Hopefully so. I have found t

All - I'm hoping I can get a little feedback here on my package libraries for my Mydata machines. I have four tied to a server right now, and I have several operators that apparently like to make packages, so I have some called 0805-05-A-MY-9-2 and t

The best method of cleaning misprinted boards is with a stencil cleaner. I would not recommend the use of a spray-in-air system for misprints. Spray systems can cause solder paste to become embedded into vias and under components (if double sided).

We bought a conformal coating removal machine AKA a sand blaster at an auction. It is a CCR2000 especially made to be ESD safe. Does anyone have any experience with sandblasting conformal coating? We mostly use humiseal 1A33 and UV40. When we use the

Vinyl ESD floor tiles are probably the most expensive approach to "permanent" flooring, about $8 a square installed. VPI and 3M are reputable suppliers. Let me digress on ESD floor "waxes", the earlier poster�s comments are well taken, but the bigge

OA pastes are more hydroscopic than NC pastes. Hydroscopic. The capacity of a material to absorb and retain moisture from the ambient air. Sometimes this is compounded if you remove paste from the frig and let it warm to room temperature, because
