For what it's worth, we have 5 Vitronics ovens. XPM2, 2+, 3I, 3M. Our Oldest is an XPM2-1030 as mentioned. We have never replaced a fan motor. We've been running it for 3 shifts for 16 years. A couple of the gearboxes for the conveyor width have been

A few random thoughts: Nitrogen in reflow is mostly cosmetic, to get shiny joints on lead free. If you are getting good results without nitrogen now, there's no need to add it on your new line. Since power consumption is important, I would get spec

As far as solder paste goes search no further! I have worked for some huge CM's as a Process Engineer and a lot of them have put thousands of hours of Engineering time and evaluation just to come up with the same answer every time. For no-clean it is

Hello everyone. I have a question pertaining to solder irons, tips and solder stations. We recently have set up our lead free wave and reflow oven. We still have quite a few projects that require leaded solder. I was curious how others handle rework

Hi, The focal point of my research has been to recommend a reflow oven and develop a process for a small to low-medium production SMT soldering with the following considerations. - Lead-Free - Low to low-medium production - Forced Convection reflow

We are in the process of launching a new product and found reflow solder issue with one of the inductors. I have set oven profile to paste specifications. I just finished profiling with thermocouple under problem component. All other components ex

Presumably you're talking about lead free, but you don't say. Heller can probably provide you with a starting point, as rob has already pointed out, but you do need to develop the capability to perform profiling yourself. That oven should have ECD

Your problem is easy. Lead free solder is like 63/37 solder paste when it was started. We make things complicated. We believed before that lead free has high melting temp and will not produce good fellet so on.... The only thing you must do is to lo

Hello all, We have problem with voids in one of our product. We are soldering IC (package SO8) with under the components grounding connection. The ground pad for this component has 3 via holes (before producing we have to cover this 3 holes from b
