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 t

I am looking for a small benchtop rework station for replacing bad QFP132's as well as a variety of SO8 to SO20 components and 1206 chips. I've been looking into some IR heating equipment as well as hot air tools, but have little experience with suc

Steve: It's a matter of economics! Let face it "there's a butt for every seat" In the real world the more we build in inspection the more failures we seem to report, the more rework we have to do, the less amount of product we send to the marketpl

Tom: You are right. Pre-heating is just as necessary in rework as it is in intiial production. Zephyrtronics produces an economical convective bottom side pre-heater known as an airbath. This product ramps the substrate and assembly at 2-4 degrees

Yes, you can rework your thermocouples, but consider using a method other than arc welding. Arc welding can join thermocouples, but it uses a filler. The filler adds a third material that affects the slope of the thermal profile. We rework our the

Don't be concerned. Brian and Neil don't allow us to link directly to email from SMTnet [even though from the way the link changes color you'd think you could. They do this to subjugate the huddling masses and lord the power of cold fusion over us.

Getting more technology for less money also means the workers have to work more for less pay... consumer culture of demanding ever more gadgets for less money forces manufacturing to cut cost everywhere. The current standard of living in North Americ

It depends. We've known cases where 10 mohm-cm was insufficient and others where 0.1 mohm-cm was more than sufficient. No standard exists. Our final rinse is fed from a recycling unit that produces DI water. We use 0.5 mohm-cm resistivity as the lo

JD, Have you considered manual dipping? For that low of a volume, the purchase cost and maintenance wouldn't seem economical but I'm not in your shoes. With hand dipping, you don't have the thickness control you may need but it can be done. If yo
