Warpage factors can cause: 1. Boards can not transfer down conveyor belts or wedge at transitions. 2. May not enter into machinery due to interferences (like board clamps) 3. May fall off conveyor chain in furnace. Especially true of thin (PCMCI

Epoxy is hydroscopic. A cavity will form when the cure furnace reaches the boiling point of water. The steam expansion creates the pocket. It can be large enough to be filled with molten solder from the wave machine and cause a hard short under th

Asking the Grid Lok to flatten out the board is like asking the SMT Reflow Furnace to detab the panel. It was not designed to make up for the deficiencies of your fab supplier or your unsuported 1st reflow pass on the the chain conveyor. However, i

I once had a forced convection oven (insert brand here)...and the top 220VAC heater (reflow zone) had shorted to the frame ground, blowing the branch line fuses. THe machine had no idea the heater was out because the lower heater was heating the upp

What is the component ball co-planarity spec? I have encountered many ceramic and ASIC devices that specify 7 mil max. If your stencil is 4, 5, 6 mil you WILL eventually have an open joint. You must deposit solder greater than or equal to your cop

One factor everyone overlooks is that furnace and external T/C wires are (generally) not calibrated. Unless you are sending your wires to a lab for NIST characterization your T/C wires are NOT calibrated. They (new wires)operate within a specifie

I once had a similar problem on a VIP98. The problem was with the FCU (furnace control unit). There was a burned IC on the lower left of the card. I don't remember what kind of part it was, only that it was very common and I got a new one from Dig
