I'm just shooting ideas here, but maybe a via hole in the middle of the solder pad would drain the excess solder by capillary force? Or using a tin plated PCB and printing flux only, then place and reflow. depending on the thickness of the tin plati

I have read a number of discussion relating to cars purchases and it maintenance . As far as I know , in cars, you drain your money on that piece of luxury , however, for production equipment , you are investing to grow your money , we are all argui

Be careful on how you go about this. Some older wave chains will have anywhere from a bit to lot of lead embedded into the grease. Ive had best luck sending it out to a shop that can hot tank them. Costs about $25 and it comes back all clean and lube

We are having a few problems with one of the tanks --possibly a drain clog issue. It is full enough to drip over. I'm waiting for a non-production opportunity to take it down and look under the catch screens. This is the lowest cascaded tank in

9.0. In it's spent form (from a batch cleaner) the cleaning solution is at a pH of 10.1. Luckily, we are setup with a holding tank and have an oppurtunity to treat the stuff before sending to drain. My question is, what is the easiest way to adjus

Deltawave flux pump continously runs while in run mode. After the pump there is a flux manifold distribution block. When switching between fluxes not all previous flux is purged or drained. When no clean is installed some cross contamination may occu

Your leadfree dross should float, similar to your leaded dross. It's possible you're thinking about the process for removing excess copper from the solder pot. Following the same process, with: * Leaded solder, the copper floats. So, you scoop the

Sounds like a flaw in your trap. It seams that during the pumping process the trap is ineffective or open, allowing normal sewer gases to bypass the trap and stink up your SMT area. This is similar to what happens when you do not use a drain for a lo

I agree with dave. Two things prevent oders from drains. The "P" trap and the celing or roof vent. If the system is sealed from the pump on then it should run thru a "P" trap this prevents vapors from comeing back thru the pipe. To make sure suction

First off, your Hollis pot cannot withstand a SAC305 no-Pb alloy. Could corrode in as little as three months of continuous use. To "de-lead" you drain the pot, clean as much manually then flush with Sn. The wave user or your solder supplier typical
