We have recently acquired a Pillarhouse Jade machine which has changeover pots from Pb Free to Pb and the bath it small so changeover heatup is fast . Although it's runtime is slow it seems to run the product well.We are also running an Ebso 400 but

Hello Horace You're lucky in that you have two of the same machine. You should be able to arrive at the root of the problem by comparison. The problem is likely to occur in one or more of these areas: MACHINE: As said , pump speed and air contact ar

Thanks Bernard. On your profile: Adding gold to your solder alloy will increase the liquious temperature. So slowing your reflow oven conveyor is a perfectly reasonable approach, especially for pads with low surface area. We don't even notice a di

Hey guys, I ran a couple of profile in our wave solder machine using wave optimizer and this is what i got: Parallelism = 0.0 Immersion Depth = 2.1mm to 2.4mm with varying immersion time from 1.1 sec to 3.1 secs. Contact Length = between 5.0 to 6.0

| | Hi Jacqueline! | | Do these joints that you're having problems with happen to be on fine pitch solder joints? Are the fillets staying attached to the foot and separating from the pads cleanly? | | If that is true, are there many vias concen

We theorize a secondary [bottom] side BGA can be wave soldered with planning. Issues are: * Keepout between the BGA and one side of the board that is clear of PTH parts requiring wave soldering, so to support the fixture. * Keepout around the BGA. *

I did have my solder analyzed and it is clean. The Hollis preheat coils are a bit hard to control but I have measured the board top side and I am getting a temp of 105c just before wave contact. I would like to move to a spray fluxer but I am going

Thanks Real Chunks. We currently have an RPS opus selective solder machine that we plan on keeping. It is configured as a 3-nozzle (!) one-pump (!!) point selective solder machine w/ nitrogen preheat. Custom wet nozzles. We use lead free SN100C sold

After 16 years in the industry, I have honestly never heard of putting wax in a solder pot. Anyway, I do have some experience with Treiber wave solder machines, and as I recall, the air-driven pumps are a nightmare to service. First of all, make su
