Morning All, I have to choice between two axial through hole machines: Panasert AVK 3 and Universal VCD Sequencer 8. I will insert axial components with 0,45 mm to 0,8 mm component lead diameter and perform jumper wire insertion in the same machine.

I think it is a good idea to "waste" money on this analysis. Especially if you phase in a SAC wave alloy. Silver is not toxicity free....and lead free waves can dross 3 to 5 times faster than SnPb alloys. This produces a greater potential for airb

Hi Zac, My 2 cents: We had similar problems on a board in the same situation (tin-lead HASL, very long leads, low pot height, high pump RPM). Trimming the leads shorter, moving the pot closer to the board, and dropping the pump speed down to sane

I'm with Steve. Check the datasheet, and make sure that the terminations are meant for solder application, and not conductive epoxy. I had that happen a year or so ago with an MLCC. Drove us nuts for two days (not to mention the significant rework

It is true that the SAC alloys are very aggressive to unprotected solder pots but the SN100C lead free alloy can be used in these pots IF they are not already being wetted by your SN63 alloy. FCT Assembly offers a program that includes free tin wash

We are implementing a high volume dedicated product line that will be doing lead free selective soldering. There seems to be 3 basic technologies. Wire fed (Panasonic Softbeam or Laser), solder pumps and chimneys (Pillarhouse, SEHO, ERSA, etc) and

Hi Jim, We had a similar problem with an AP-27. You could try to jumper the wires which lead in to the reed switch. Failing that you could swap out the opto module for this, in our machine it's located in rack 2-15. Rgards, Kev.

Hi Bill Mostly in the UK, but originally saw the problem when I helped on one install in Malta on a chinese mc set at 5 degrees and had nightmare bridging. changed the angle to 6.5 ish and results were instantly better actually better than what they
