I have a number of nozzles for an Assembléon AX-201 that have been allowed to become clogged with old, dried-out solder paste. I am thinking of using an ultrasonic tank in an attempt to clean them for re-use, but I am concerned that isopropyl alcoho

Dave: Cleaning flux tanks should be a thing of the Past. With Ultrasonic flux spraying equipment you can deliver flux directly from the flux container. There is no contamination or moisture problems. It is said to cut your flux cost by up to 80% a

The key to longevity in any automated soldering machine is in the preventative maintenance. If the machine has had regular maintenance preformed on it, your job will be that much easier. The 1st thing I would do is to either throw out the solder t

Dear Sanjay, An important issue involved when stencil printing adhesives vs. solder paste is: How do you clean the stencils after printing? Do you need two machines? Two chemistries? Two waste streams? What are the potential environmental impacts an

Larry: You're correct to question this: * We don't like to run raw paste through our aqueous cleaner. It makes a blinking mess. Your entire machine is probably now coated with hazardous material ... well at least the first tank and the out-bound

I've been looking for information on how, if at all, any of you treat water after a pcb batch wash. In particular, we have a Trident LD machine, using Zestron cleaning chemical. We have a carbon tank and two mixed bed media tanks as well as two 5 mic

Cristiano, Are your oxidised components now all on boards ? How many and how many terminations ? If you have any that are still to be used, maybe you can get the supplier / customer to replace them, unless of course they are well old. If you have

Hello SMTNEtters': Does anyone know of any suppliers who can supply De-I H20 (some high-quality H20!!) in 55 gallon containers. We have no use for "point-of-use" treatment, like mixed bed, anion, or cation tanks, or anything like that...we're a NO
