Basically, it's a tilting problem of certain devices. Usually with axial by-pass caps tilting, which pulls the lead up through it's mounting hole. Other problems with components with leads cut to lenght to eliminate post-wave trimming. All suggestion

Try spraying flux on top of the loaded PWB when you put it on the conveyor. The tackiness of the flux does a pretty fair job of keeping the axial leaded parts down to the board. This takes more cleaning, but it has worked wonders for me on assemblies

I would contact my local distributor. Using a Heat Gun is not the best method for rework. Using the Air Bath depending on board specifications also may not be the best method. Try a small distributor rather than a catalog house. Usually the small dis

You are welcome. I typically just read here and try not to post, but the other post was unfairly negative and seemed to be biased to a single supplier...which I always find suspect. Here are the links to APE and ZEPHYRTRONICS which I hope you find h

Hi, Yes, it was quite funny, and everyone thought I was nuts, but it was something worth trying. It's often the weirdest ideas that work. The full tube was ok, but the half full one generated the plasma. That scared the hell out of us when it lit up

I am looking for a fool-proof way to have operators measure PCB's out of the depaneler to ensure that the tolerances for the outside edges are being met. Probably a spot check system to make sure the process is in tolerance. So far building a "GO"

I am soldering with a softbeam laser and often get a flux/solder build up at the end of the feed tube. Seems better when we use Senju wire but this is very costly. It seems like we have tried everything to resolve this. Would appreciate assistance on
