If the gold fingers are pad types which plug into expansion slot connectors, I have used a titanium guard attached to the wave conveyor over the solder pot, which allows the PCB to connect to the fingers but masks the solder from the gold pads along

Hi Loco, Good point!! The good old glass plate works just fine as long as the conveyor or carriers have L shaped fingers. A glass plate is usually about a � inch thick (a lot thicker than the actual board). With L shaped fingers the bottom of the gl

I would use a foam fluxer since spraying rosin will make the stickiest nastiest mess you can imagine. 18 layer board huh? You will want convection preheat, both top and bottom preheaters, preheat tunnel of at least 4-5', a chip wave, laminar flow w

Key Issue: Will this machine solder your boards? You never know until you solder one. Any other avenues of analysis involve substantial risk. Flux Selection * High or low solids * VOC or VOC-free Solder Alloy * If using lead-free, avoid stainles

The Optimizer can be run through your wave like a regular board. It measures temps, times and parallelism of your waves in relationship to your board (pot to conveyor). Run the Optimizer till you get you temps, times and are parallel to your waves.

Charles: Here are a few possibilities you might want to check: 1) Conveyor width -- if the conveyor is too tight this will cause the boards to buckle as they go through the preheat section. We recently had this happen when we changed operators. 2

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg

5 Steps to Eliminate Bridges: 1. Establish (wave) Parallelism First and foremost, you must establish board-to-wave parallelism. This is the prerequisite to any wave solder process control. For an understanding of the power of this approach go to ht

On your coating ... * What is the material coating? * What is the purpose of the coating? So, is this coating something that was on the fingers on your conveyor and is now transmigrating to your boards? We replace 20 of our titanium fingers on our

Any body using any kind of special finger marker stickers used to check wave solder conveyor fingers parellism? If so please contact me.
