| Is it feasible to have one type of board carriers to take boards thru 1) glue curing process for first side and 2)invert carriers with boards, and 3)reflowing second side, and 4) do manual stuffing of th components and 5) take them thru selective w

If you are using a fixture/carrier in the oven, make sure that it is not too restrictive on the perimeter of the board/panel. A carrier intended to limit warpage can actually cause warpage if the expanding PCB material has no place to go during refl

Is this a single sided or double sided board? We run the first side flat on the oven belt this keeps the board flat for the second side assembly. If the board warps during the second reflow process we will make a support fixture to carry the PCBA

Ron, The simplest way to process fexible PCB's that I have found is to use a process carrier fixture. There are companies that manufacture process carriers that are capable of holding flex through stencil, placement and reflow. The carriers are capab

You need to got to Nix of America's website. They have a fixture that you can slide strips of carrier tape into. http://www.nixofamerica.com/new.htm#CTT

Make a frame that is larger than your largest board, or make a few sizes whatever you chose. Contact Fancort about their modular universal wave fixtures and "enhance" design for reflow, you will get the point when you go look at fancorts website. Ru

We are constantly messing around with easy ways to transport double sided boards through reflow. (Boards that cannot ride on the chain fingers for any number of reasons). We've got some fancy Durostone carriers that work awesome but are product spe

In a time crunch, kapton tape works great. If you are using durostone or some material like that for carriers, make sure it is clean right after you machine it and the kapton will stick very well. We are low volume so we pretty much always use tape

we have a variety of products which we build and manufacture and build on our site, 90% of which go over the wave solder. What I would like to know is when designing a WSC how do I know what the correct angle of the aperture is in relation to the wav

Yes, sure. In fact in some applications ICT is coming back. Mainly due to the fact that more and more SMT discrete components have no markings, so AOI cannot tell you if you have the correct value on the PCB. Fixed pin or flying probe ICT is a valuab
