Doing a little poll here. How many of you are using lead free paste and what type/brand are you using. We are using Alpha OM338 SAC405. I am not liking it very much so far. It seems to be too viscous. It is definitely the thinnest stuff I have e

You will need to set the contact and squeegee zero calibration every time you set up a new product, we do this because the thickness of the substrate (pcb) can change between product and this will effect these calibration settings. The machine does n

Tried with several lots of solder paste, manufactured in Feb and March this year. Work ambient: 25C, 60~70%. Is this humidity too much? I'll reduce the ramp in our profile. One change: We changed the conveyor motor in our reflow oven just before the

....not unique. But tough as hell! I build flex assemblies for a major P&P equipment manufacturer. Some are pure flex, most are ridgid flex. And of course, why put fiducials on the boards to help the process (why God, why me?) We use pallets and
