I will have to process a PQFP 128 with a pitch of 0.4 mm. Given that the width of its leads are about 0.13-0.23 mm, i dread the worst when printing the solder paste. So, i would like to know if some people have yet test this type of fine pitch, what

As you know 90% of defects come from the printer. This product is well worth the investment. You will improve yeilds and reduce rework. Very important with micro BGA's. Also lead free components do not self center (during reflow) as well. There is ve

Hi All, agree 100% on product characteristics SPC, and do find process indicators such as paste Volume, useful to monitor via SPC, the printing process, as printing constitutes "70% cases of SMT defects". We juz purchased a 2nd hand CyberOptics 3D

The best thing you can do is to clean the board that has a solder paste defect on it. If you don't you probably will have issues after reflow. This could include bridging, raised parts, or any number of issues. You need to remember that if you are re

Regarding your comment "technology doesn't seem to have improved". Actually, technology has improved significanty. Cyber Optics uses a line measurement, a new unit from Germany uses sine wave differential measurement. The Gridmeter unit captures a vi

Q1. What is recommended viscosity standard? A1: There is no standard. ASTM D4040-05 "Standard Test Method for Rheological Properties of Paste Printing and Vehicles by the Falling-Rod Viscometer" is a test method that might work. For more, look her

@MagyarT the error occurred across multiple PCBs throughout the entire job. So, for example, the issue isn't limited to just the first printed one but spans the entire duration. At what dimensions would you recommend a division? The apertures on the

Your problem is common on this solder defect. It is sometimes known as squeeze balls. The formation of these result from excess volumes of paste applied to the pads. Once the paste melts and covers the pad and component termination,the excess has no

Allow me a contrary viewpoint. I've had these things on my floor and had customers get outsourced evaluations done with them. Most expensive boat anchors I've run across. First the good points: The automated scanning and pattern recognition is go
