Sorry, I have not read the article. However, I do have five years experience constantly tweaking an AOI system that ran ONE product! The strength of the machine was solder inspection. The biggest problem was component color variation and shadowing

Ovens, and any other process for that matter, will ALWAYS vary. It's called process variation. I do Cpk (process capability) on my ovens. I track time-above-liquidus and peak temperatures. Statistics will validate how repeatable your oven is.

1. The formula for cubic area (LxWxH) applies to get the expected volume target value. Caution- do not assume the pad surface square are is correct for the part. Do consider the footprint of the device beign placed and its solder requirements to cre

Your questions would require volumes of information to answer completely. This is a readers digest version to help you get started volumes Don't rely on inspection as a process indicator of your quality and defect levels. Unfortunately Inspectio

With a eutectic ball, you'll see about a 50% collapse. This negates that .008" issue you're referring to. With a high temp ball, you don't enjoy the same freedom regarding ball collapse. Dave is correct, though. We recently got IBM to sign up to

In a nutshell, Cp is a measure of your process variation compared to your spec limits and Cpk is measure of both variation and how well your process is centered within your spec limits. Cp = (USL-LSL)/6*sigma where USL=upper spec limit LSL=lo

The quick frame does work well with the DEK 265, but we feel that tensioning is user dependent and introduces variation into the process on an operator to operator basis. Also, because tensioning occurs only on two sides (instead of four) this also i

Hi Pat, we had white tin boards laying around for about 10 month with no extra protection than the plastic bag that they were shipped in. Never thought of using them for there was a relayout planned to fix some serious bugs. But that�s life, relayo

CPk is a measure of the process variance with respect to the acceptable upper and lower limits. In your case it would be the accuracy of placement. The exact position of a chip ideally would be dead centre on the pads however in real life that positi

The use of nitrogen in lead free wave solder operations is primarily used to reduce or even eliminate drossing of the solder, thus improving solder yield. The higher priced lead free solder makeup (Cu, Ag) make this a more economical proces than the
