Not really, just eyeball. Does it look too loose or feel too tight. Is it lubricated properly, is there enough grease on the sprockets? Also, check the ribbon cables. They might be damaged.

I checked it and there is no problem with the lubrication the cables are in good condition. The band feels a little loose I will try to make the adjustment to see if that is the problem.

Mika, If I understand you correctly you compare hole fill of Ni/Au plated boards in a lead-free process with HASL 63/37 boards soldered with leaded solder. If this is the case you might be facing the challenges in Pb free wave soldering with the lim

I suspect the problem is a surfactant issue in your flux. I have seen where boards are fluxed, hit the solder fountain and come out like they never touched the solder. There was an inadequate surfactant between the solder and the PCB. I know you

I was consulting the manual of the machine and to measure the tension of the x belt I need a frequency counter and two prisms but I don't have these tools, is there any other way to measure the tension?

We have a simular problem with Ni/Au; especially whith pcb thickness more than 1.8mm. Note: These boards have been through reflow process also. 1.)Is there a maximum board thickness where it would be almost impossible to get a decent hole fil? 2.)Wi

Hi, We have a customer who give us a 20K board contract each year. It's only thru-hole components.The baord is HASL plated. So we pass it into our wave. No problems. Recently, our customer decided to go into GOLD PLATED finish. We take the same re

Here's what I believe is happening. The main difference between the HASL boards and the gold plated boards is that HASL boards are pre-soldered. HASL boards need very little flux activity to get good hole fill and the machine settings have a wide pro

Mika, 1.) Is there a maximum board thickness where it would be almost impossible to get a decent hole fil? Answer: The thicker the board the further the solder has to travel and the more you depend on solderability of boards and components, machine

| | I have always thought it to be a good practice to wash SMA's with water soluble paste (WS609) soon after reflow. Is there a time limit as to how long a board should sit after reflow before washing said board? For instance; processing a double-
