I don't know your oven but I have dealt with high temperature ovens/furnaces before. These would be my thoughts. Change in the resistivity of the heating element due to aging. Blockage of air flow in the oven by buildup of soot/ debris in either th

Grandpa, You got it - Identifying the bottleneck operation is the key. The secret is to design a tool can predict accurately where this bottleneck is. In your formula you can use machine process time, PCB transportation time, part trim time, part in

To predict whether or not a first pass part is going to come off during the second pass you need to calculate the ratio of weight/soldered surface area. According to a couple of different sources that I've dug up, maximum is around 44 grams/in.^2. I

Folk's, I've been running with the datapaq system for about 5 years now. I have been using it on both reflow and on wave, the only issue I've ever found is that you cannot predict settings for wave, but then you can't do that on Kic and I don't thin

Operation features of many devices, machine components, instruments depend substantially on state of their surfaces. Selective surface processing by high-intensity energy beam (ion, electron, laser treatment) is one of the most perspective directions

George, I looked at the winkic & profit software and tool's a while ago along with some of the alternatives. No matter what anyone tell's you in the 1st instance you do still need a profile card as what you are doing is comparing the known good prof

That is a tough question. I think that an important point must be made, and that is that the electronics assembly business is just that, a business. And, electronics asssembly companies are in business to make a profit. The profit, or "bottom line

A) Questions: 1) What sort of pallet materials used? 2) what PCB thickness & LxW size? 3) what stencil type & thickness used? 4) what profile type used (peak deg-C)? 5) any peak Deg-C contraints for the components SMT onto the PCB? B) We use pallet
