In a perfect world, the machines would be maint."guys" for the automation machines. Think "closed loop" system. Anyway, getting back to our reality job, we are still game for automation to improve thru'put, quality, reduce problems. The focus here

With mounting interest in the "Automated Optical Inspection" thread revolving around SMTnet, was wondering from a end-user point of view, does anyone have recommended configuration AOI machine to recomend for purchase? what were the key benefits o

OK, disclaimer; I'm a salesguy, but I was a process engineer for quite a lot longer than I've been in sales. Your question is very vague, and may be difficult to answer. There are many ways to configure AOI to inspect solder, but as has been pointed

A touched-up solder joint is never as reliable as one soldered correctly by machine. Touching up adds more heat thereby increasing the thickness of the intermetalic bond. Our goal is to have the thinest intermetalic bond in our solder joints. The int

Bruno The real question about your troop using Kester 951 wave solder flux on boards is: how is the flux applied and controlled. See, when you apply this flux with your wave solder fluxer, it is ideally applied in a metered fashion with your fluxer

Yes a 6 mil solder deposite will reduce to approx 50% of it's original size. Does this happen on only 1 BGA? Is the BGA that its happening on have smaller balls than the others, what I'm getting to is, are you sure you are depositing the proper amo

| hello to everybody, | we have a really satisfactory no clean process, both smt/reflow and wave soldering, but we get troubles with defects rework; | does anybody know how to eliminate flux residues or how not to produce them during rework operatio

Hi I will like to know what do you think about cleaning hand solder, my employee spend about 25% of they time to brush they hand solder with teddy pen cleaner, we used no clean solder wire. It�s not been the first time that I try to eliminate those c

By definition, no clean solder can be not-cleaned. The solder/flux are formulated to result in low ionic-contamination, hence, no cleaning. I have, however, always had at least one customer that requests their no-clean solder get cleaned. No-clean

We recently changed to an Amtech no clean paste and flux that is washable. So far excellent results. Far superior to the water soluable paste we were using. Fewer solder balls, longer life in printer, boards can be left up to 5 days and still come
