You should use the equipment mart right here in the good ole SMTNET. Russ

could you elaborate on the type of component involved to help us understand the issue better....if this assembly is a special case you might try vapor phase soldering of that assembly...although that is a capital investment if you are not currently s

We have been doing pilot runs with vacuum installed on vapor phase. Voids are down but bridges are up on the .5mil BGAs.

Thanks for all the input. Going to try vapor phase. We have an Asscon Q300 demo. I'll post results when we have them. Jim

If its low volume maybe vapor phase desktop unit? I heard they work like magic and don't require any profiling. Rehm is supposed to be the best brand especially in europe. Overbuilt and even better than Heller but not too popular in US.

Just few brand names of VP reflow machines: - ASSCOM http://www.asscom.de - epmIBL http://www.epm.ch One of the the Heat Transfer Fluid used with today Vapor Phase Reflow(condensation) technology is the GALDEN that you can select according to

Rehm Thermal Systems (Germany)offer in process vacuum reflow in convection ovens and vapor phase pending what makes sense - volumes of PCB per hour needed. There are other vendors getting into this of course. Can only get single digit void free join

Never mind I reread your question and realized my mistake. Your best bet is just to either get more labor to rework and up your output that way or to make a custom machine that has the hot air nozzles fixtured and timed. Then load up multiple boards

Thanks Pete B - great info. I am currently preparing a DOE to address concerns about reflow of componentry on the bottomside of the PCB while in the vapor. Specifically cosmetics and part dropping. Bottom side has no flux, but will be fully reflow

They all are inlineish They just carry the board to the vapor chamber. in a reflow system all the boards in the oven from beginning to end are in state of process, which gives you more speed. If the board has a long cycle time VP is not a problem. If
