Thanks for your reply. This production lot is already finished. We produced in 2 lots, first was no-clean (and was ok), 2nd lot was cleaned (aqua based), and I need to look into the cleaning further. Since it's all finished I can't get parts from se

I hope I understand your question, but are you saying you're having trouble meeting demand? Keep a log of the time that the machines are down, probably for 4-6 weeks would be good and this may give you a good idea of what kind of downtime your worki

98% to 99% pass yield should be your target. The previous company I worked for, we were able to meet these goals with most all of our products. It took us some years to achieve this level of pass rate. Of course analyzing and good reporting from some

Likely, but if your dross production is mostly due to pumping a high wave, or, due to a system that is configured to produce a lot of dross from the solder wave return to the pot, pump shaft interface or an aggressive chip wave, then maybe wax will n

Hi, i have designed Double sided PCB all SMT Parts are mounted on bottom side and TH on Top Side. with recent testing we found that the decap needs to be placed closer to IC VDD-GND Pins. as i can't place TH Parts since i don;t have space on botto

Obviously a totally clean floor is the best. So what if you have 1 particle of dust on your entire production floor? Is that 1 part per million (1 PPM)? or is that 1 part per billion? or 1 part per ???? How do you measure dust and come up with a

I had a benchtop Yestech demo until for a couple weeks. It was a very good machine. I particularly liked the RGB light system which gave a good visual representation of solder fillets. There was software that allowed you to evaluate based on the p

We issue extra parts like this: 8/2 caps and resis. - 40 over 8/4 caps and resis. - 20 over 8/4 IC's - 7 over 12mm - 7 over larger feeders + stick + matrix = the correct # req'd. These #'s were based on our first SMT lines (used equip.) and we made

I am having a horrible time with the square radial lead capacitors (thru hole components) and the part coating flowing into the solder joint. These are Class 3 products. When we run them through the wave solder machine, the solder travels up the le

thanks for all the feedback... we also checked, just in case : - bake the components (no visible improvement) - bake the pcb (50% less tombstone components) - finally we changed LF paste to completely different manufacturer - and booom 0 (zero) tombs
