Are you sure you are using the correct solder paste question, once again. How many cycles times allow to proceed in reflow for these type of packages. => Dunno. What does the supplier say?

Stephen, Magic!! Soldering in the N2 environment did just as you said. Easy to clean the post solder residues. Many Thanks!

I don't think there is a standard, too many variables, but I could be wrong. I believe ERSA wrote a technical article that deals with double drop. You can probably find it just by doing a web search.

Here Downunder, I spoke with few SMT equipt suppliers and they said that many small companies bought machines since after the Sept. 11 incident. Info Tech is really down here but electronics manufacturing is rising at a slow rate but it's still hard

Its nearly impossibile to get any Gage R&R on systems that require the operator to posisition the board to be measured. For this you need an automatic measurement system. There are many vendors out there in addition to CyberOptics, models SE 200 and

Yes, VJ is a good product. However, there are so many others... Feinfocus, Phoenix, XTek. In this market call all of them and make sure that you buy on the technical spec to your need! T

Chris, What's the board finish? HASL? What's the frequency of solder beading, like how many joints soldered exhibit these solder beads- percentage wise. Are the boards clean- nobody is touching them with greasy fingers? We need more clues.

I hated no-clean for that reason. Yea, the boards are pretty clean and in many cases don't need cleaning but it's not worth it when you consider what it does to your ovens in my opinion. Do water soluable fluxes cause the same havoc in a re-flow?

Hi Good Hunting CAL, Is there a good link to read fast about Manncorp and I guess it's downsizing? My and others concerns, is that many SMT Mfg guys/gals might have to start thinking about becoming immigrants. YiE, DDave

Kevin If you want to go automated then why not take a look at the Philips ACM. It is the flagship for placing SMT and Oddform packages. We use Vacuum nozzles and Grippers to handle many truly oddform components.
