Rinse them clean. Blow them out with some shop air. And let them dry in an oven for awhile.

Is it possible that the flux you used, if applied in excess could have caused the balls to "blow out". I have seen this in the past and it was related to the type of flux we were using and the amount. Russ

only plug one side, you can definitely blow out during reflow process with a sealed via/ it is impossible for flux to be trapped in a blind via. Russ

We use Biral B10-30. It smokes and smells the first time the oven heats up after oiling the chain. What we do is open up the windows and turn on a floor fan so the smoke blows out.

I am using TopazX2, placing 0603 caps with #72 FNC nozzles. Sometimes, there is solder splash around the caps, being blowed out by the nozzle (?) when it placed the part down. Any idea about the reason and solution. Thanks.

If its an OA flux then this too acts similar to HASL flux in that they are very hygroscopic and would attract moisture and that would blow out the solder causing a void. Remember these fluxes have very high boiling solvents that do not get volatised

If its like my wave, the t-couple might not be mounted over a whole where the hot air blow out./ mounting it on the hot plate makes it over heat alot.

Try cleaning the linear encoder reader. I've had dust build up on two of my machines resulting in failure to calibrate. Blowing out the reader heads with gentle compressed air resolved it.

I've been using the ERSA Versaflow 3/45 for 3 years. I've been changing the gassing rings and seals annually, but I'm going to a schedule of every 6 months. I blow my gassing rings off with compressed air. I also blow a little into the intake tube to

I have a quad vmp20b benchtop printer that keeps blowing out the table up\down control FETS. Anybody have any idea what component is before or after these fets that could be causing this? I metered all the surrounding components nothing was out of t
