I prefer 'YAUC' [Yet Another Unit Converter] by Marius Miller. YAUC converts between many units - Metric, Imperial and others. It supports 585 units, in 40 categories, including Acceleration, Angle, Area, Current, Density, Energy, Force, Frequency

Russ, I don't understand this thread in general...Got three APE Chipmaster's and one Chipper running 24/7 and have never had a problem....it's been almost three years. What are you doing with your Chipmaster? What chips? It's rare that we hav

A little late but if this subject is still of interest the following paper from APE may be of interestwhen considering IR to Air Bath: HOT AIR versus IR and other convection Rework Systems HOT AIR is the most popularly chosen method of rework in th

Shameless? In APE's experience not so - air velocity/power is extremely important in carrying energy to the board and close loop control of that energy is crytical in maintaining a controlled environment - if a machine design requires that air is for

There are several different technologies in the industry today to assist in the out-gassing of flux cores. On automated soldering systems, there are two main types of perforating solder feeders: - Hole Drilling - "V" Scoring By perforating the so

Operation features of many devices, machine components, instruments depend substantially on state of their surfaces. Selective surface processing by high-intensity energy beam (ion, electron, laser treatment) is one of the most perspective directions

Yes, shameless. You could have come out and said that APE's equipment is the best thing since sliced bread but . . . you had to get all scientific with us. We already get bombarded by subliminal messages in commercials now, tech forums. In all ser

James, I've done some extensive studies cleaning BGA's while I was employeed by one the companies you are considering. In an attempt to avoid being commercial I will use general statments to address your question(s). The key to cleaning underneath

Numerous people use the Pyramax oven to process high temp solder but your success will depend upon the mass of your board. To maximize the probability of success you should use the highest convection rate (IWC) possible to enhance heat transfer an
