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

Hi Sean, No-clean flux does leave a residue. Under the best conditions, it is invisible. There are many factors that can cause the residue to become visible such as an inadequate oven profile (or lack of proper preheat on a wave). Also, if wave s

Schematics help you troubleshoot further but if you do not have the ability to power up the board, you are limited in how far you can go with your troubleshooting. One solution to this problem we have used is this: The customer agrees to pay for 99
