Hello All, I read AIMs article "Time Above Liquidus". It was very informative and a good read. One thing that the article didn't touch on, that is a mystery to me, is thermal shock to components during the ramp up stage of a profile. If you

This is one of the biggest mistakes with the Lead Free process. We have all listened to the 'industry experts' and followed their advice and unfortunately got it wrong. Keep the dwell times (dependant on alloy selection) the same as Leaded so you are

Of course this should never occur, but this, forgive me shitty worlds of a complex Flexa system, which makes me cry once in a while. Does anybody here at this forum know what it takes to install this shit? First You have to set up a dedicated Flexa

Pat, Try to run a glass plate (yeah I've used these before too), keep your wave pump speed the same, and slow down your conveyor speed. You will find the actual contact between molten solder and the 0.5" grids to be LESS vs. a faster conveyor speed

I have a Fuji IP1 using the MCS control system. Everything works fine, but it seems to have tons of problems placing PLCC4 parts (Osram Power TopLED). Some reels I load up it will give a vision processing error for about 1 out of 10 parts. Other r

Are you using no-clean solder, or just no clean flux? If you're using a solder with WS flux in the core, and a no-clean flux; we'd suggest switching to a WS flux to help during the soldering. If you are using a no-clean solder/flux combination, you

we have omron, before buy I have evaluated lot of other machines, what I like most is the three ring at different angle lighting which allows pseudo 3-d solder joint evaluation and historgams with statistics, you can see out of total solder joints ho

A few other data points to consider. My experience working with Dymax 984LVF material was that its UV cure must be initiated immediately after coating, otherwise is surface will remain tacky forever, something like a post-it note tackiness, which wi

Your puzzlement about blowholes in PTH solder connections during reflow soldering comes from: * Boards are hydroscopic. So, moisture content of the board is uniform. * Gold plating is uniform. * Nickle plating is uniform. * Copper plating on your PTH

Our company is in the market to replace the $50 toaster oven we use to reflow boards with something that can actually achieve even temperature and a proper reflow curve. We are a RnD type company and have no need for volumes. Though we have some heav
