What kind of parts are on the bottom? Small passives are very unlikely (won't unless other abnormal factors come into play) to fall off when reflowed a second time regardless of temperature differential. There is a simple weight/soldered surface ar

Agree!! Where is Your thermocouple-probes attacded and can we get the info from this? Delta-T of the comp. is very, very important! The single most important smt-process step is the profiling/recipy and as a result of this, this poor package will cor

Hi J, Yes, we do too. Funny thing is I was just looking at this last Friday. We call it sharing the bottom of the barrel. Typically it's just Process Engineers stuck down here, but from time to time, Maintenance gets stuck down here too. When in

Well I DO KNOW! Hi aj, 100% on the lead pads and 50% reduction on the center pad if you do not use thermal vias. If you do use thermal vias, you may need to increase the amount of paste needed, but not by much. 50% will be a good start. After re

Just starting and already responsible for product quality and machine adjustment? Wow, you poor bastard. Ok, I will assume this problem happens on the bottom side of the board with a thru-hole IC. The short occurs on the side that doesn't have the

Hi Armando Hotflow 7 is a big machine and one of the best Reflow ovens around (in my opinion), well suited for Lead Free. A typical 1.6mm board has the following settings for Lead Free SAC305 paste All Temperature settings are Top and Bottom Prehea

Hello, I've recently started to work with MPM AP25, I began doing maintenance to get to know the machine. But now I'm having some problems in the teaching process. You can see the problem in the photo. http://img59.imageshack.us/i/image194p.jpg/

Best to use Tin treated with TinP Additive. This ensures the Tin is fluid enough to Dissolve any Leaded residues. Run the machine for one hour at 275C then take out wave former and as much of the workings of the pot as possible. Then start bailing ou

Check that your pick and place machine is not pushing the part too far in the paste and squeezing the paste off the pad. Your profile could need modifying. In the case of the profile the solder paste can slump off the pads before turning into a liqui

Hi, hopefully I am too late, it is fixed and you are up and running. Have you tried MPM support on the phone? We have 2 older MPM's and the blow the driver modules in the bottom drawer on the back of the machine. There are different drivers for dif
