If any changes in design is not possible and you have to solder it, it's a real headache, I know... I see only 3 options here that you can try consiquently: 1) Accurately profile the board and optimize a profile (go to lower limit of process windo

What I would look at is the chemicals being used in the facility where the complaints are. Flux/flux gel, IPA, cleaning agents, etc. Perhaps you should limit the usage to certain people only, who would be trained how to properly use these. Something

We have an MPM UP2000 stencil printer and have a lot of issues with burned out 6410 driver cards (or driver cards just failing to work). I have looked over these threads and found that this is a common issue with these cards. I understand that thes

| I recently switched from solder paste in 500 gram jars to 500 gram tubes. I did this to try to limit the time the paste is exposed to the room environment. But we have a need to clean the stencil every 4 - 5 boards which means taking the bulk paste

Hi All, The change over to lead-free is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it The big problem I see with this lead-free transition is that there is no benchmark of acceptability and no defect data (yet) related to visual appearance of a sol

I still have half of a 500 g jar of this paste left. I'm going to give it another shot, but my first experience was not so wonderful. Everything was great until we reflowed it. Our profile matched AIM's recommendation, as far as I can see. The ch

Assuming you want to run 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, you need a sustained throughput of 2.5k components per hour. With fine pitch, futzing around, setup, etc you should really look for machines rated in the 4k to 5k per hour range. That's not sc

Have you done a post-mortem on the blown fuse? Assuming it is a glass fuse, if it is all black around the glass then replacing the fuse will be pointless. (the new fuse will just blow again, making a black mark or BLACKER mark all around the glass)
