Hi all, Here's the deal. I have a customer for whom I assemble a lot of product. All of their product mix goes through a water soluble process. Much of it gets conformal coated. They are in the high power arena but some products are simply contro

I have a knack for asking those "set-up" questions of sales types during their presentations. It's so bad, I don't even have to pay for lunch to attend SMTA meetings. The "presenter" pays for Dave. YES!!! I've read the Richard S. Clouthier "SMT S

You�re correct, many of us recognize that problems in paste deposition are the source of the majority of SMT component defects. What would you say that the portion of the "51 to 72% of all solder defects are the result of screen-printing problems" t

Hey, hey, hey !!!! why do we always think of the BIG names, eh? give the underdog a chance, manz! We evaluated the METCAL bga rework station, (they only have one model going, no worry, its loaded with smart innovations) we gave it thumbs up, 2 thu

Dave F. Thanks for the info. I've spoken with Ralph and Les Hymes in the past and have taken Manko seminars before. I read something not long ago that Dr. Juran had written on the subject of Zero-defect soldering programs and was hoping for response

| You may want to rethink using an inline for both OA and No-Clean applications. Since the majority of your applications are OA, it would not make a lot of economic sense to run saponifier in your inline for a minority application. My suggestion is

When going to a "no clean" process, there are always two items that will require cleaning - stencils and pallets. You may also have a requirement to clean misprinted PCBs and possibly SMD adhesives. The Smart Sonic Stencil/Pallet Cleaning Process

No, not as such. Nor should there be. This is not to say that the issue of making good prints is anything but absolutely vital to cost effective operations. Experts attribute 60+% of SMT soldering defects to the printing process. Properly, both J
