We know that solder pastes can be stored for up to 2 weeks at room temperature. If we return them to the refrigerator after 1 week of storage at room temperature, does the time reset, or can we keep them for the remaining week at room temperature? A

There isn't going to be much worthwhile used equipment out there if you mean true jetting - it is a pretty recent process. There are lots of used stencil printers out there, so from an up-front cost perspective, stencil wins. Jetting is slow. A hig

Quick question for anyone - With this whole pasting and waiting thing - i've found out that the board is pasted, it sits around for a bit, then the components get placed on it. Then i thought it went into the oven BUT, it doesn't. It sits for a few

We agree with Wolfgang. Adding points along his line of reasoning: * Also consider placed component prescience. Sometimes, a mis-pick results in paste on the nozzle, which leads to the next component being stuck on the nozzle and not placed, which

Apparently because the machines are old and prone to break down they do all the printing for the day (maybe 6/7 different board types) up front. This doesn't make any sense to me - if the machine is going to break down, the machine is going to brea

Hand up here too. While most pastes have some flexibility and you may get by without too many problems, I don't think any of them are designed with long wait times in mind. What I'm confused about is what your operator is doing when boards ARE runni

Yes, Hand Up here. I would think you would have a quality problem. I am assuming you're doing this process in some sort of batch mode. I would hope that you can process your boards within a few minutes after components being placed. Things that I
