First, don't put solder paste in a wave solder pot, the 50% by volume of organics and volatiles will gas off in an astonishing amount of fume, leaving a dismaying mess of spent resin and molten plastic in your pot. Second, when you say, "Paste that

So, you toss whatever is on the stencil every 8 hours. Correct? How long has it been on the stencil? * If that particular paste has been on the stencil for 8 hours, we'd agree to toss it too. * If paste has been on the stencil for less than 8 hour

Hello Sibbe, Thank you for posting your questions. There are a few approaches to AOI with the majority being program driven. There are a couple of systems that are simply comparative in that you use the system to compare a golden board to others th

Syringe is a good plan. You may need to buy some pnuematic guns to push ou the paste thuogh. Instead of melting the paste down, have someone reclaim for you. They pay you for it. Sorry Maint Managers - gave away your secret.

Yes, looks great - had a play at one of their roadshows. Could turn into an amazing product if they can scale it down enough. However, it's slow and costs more than a large house. More than a screen printer and a huge number of stencils.
