class 3 requires 100% barrel fill Class 3 requires 75% vertical fill of solder for component with less or more than 14 leads. Not 100% fill.

The closer your inspection the more defects you will find, the more rework you do the possible cost you will add and the potential increase of damage you could do to your products if rework is not up to a machine copyable standard. "Is there any in

Your fluxes are required to be compatible per J-STD-001. I wouldn't even attempt mixing no-clean (rosin) and clean (assuming water soluble) fluxes on the same assembly, especially if the fluxes are from two different vendors. If your paste and liquid

definitely don't mix clean and No clean. Run No Clean as you decided, but have your flux and paste manufacturers advice, how this flux can be cleaned(if you decide or required to clean). I know for a fact that some of these NC flux residues are almos

I can't say I've ever heard that you shouldn't rework class 3 products. Since class 3 and class 2 are inherently inspection standards, rework might be required to meet class 3 specs. In the past, that has been an issue, as everyone wants to produce

We recently got a batch wash machine that can use a chemical cleaner. (not a saponifier). NOW I feel confident cleaning no clean boards. Without a machine that can heat water and use a proper cleaning agent, I would not trust cleaning no clean boards

Good machine! Just like most part libarys don't let the operators change part profiles. Haven't seen it place 0201's but 0402's have no problem. Tape splicing for the feeders is a problem. The eject wheel gets jammed with anything other than splice t

You are not wrong in monitoring the Product (your really not monitoring the process). This methodology is valuable if your process is unstable (SPC is used to stabilize process). There is value in "real time" inspection of a process's product as lon

The tendancy always has been "when in doubt, touch it up"... this is not the way to "verify the process" and is not the best strategy for multiple reasons (unessecary rework, additional labor costs, as well as making the solder joint more brittle, [i

This has been our practice and its worked well: SMT process-QC/Touch-Up-Assembly. We have dedicated QC/T-Up after reflow trained under IPC requirements. They do the SMT inspection and ONLY touch-up if necessary. This way we never have to inspect SMT
