When you do a google search, put quotes around your terms to only come up with pages that have exactly the terms you are looking for. For instance, my Google search came up with: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22goldfinger+masking%22 which

Wave soldering problem - strange colour of the solder

Electronics Forum | Tue Jan 16 18:18:46 EST 2007 | greg york

Sorry that answer never really gave you the reason and ways to resolve. Reason - most composite pallets are only good up to 180C so thermal excursions at 250 or even 270c lead free kill them. Try to stay on top of cleaning as well and some pallet mat

UP2000 with grid-lok question

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 24 08:22:18 EST 2007 | cyber_wolf

Turning off the grid-lok is not an option. I have used the hand inserted tooling in the past..It takes too long to set up and it does not accomodate warped boards. So I am I safe in saying that there is not much I can do aside from change my board d

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 24 11:22:46 EST 2007 | pr

Do you still have the vacuum plates in? If so, you can set the grid-lok up in the "fixed mode" (not sure what they call it,where it won't set for each board), then you could run without side clamps and the Vacuum should be enough to keep it from movi

GSM Calibration

The front banks and head are fine. The rear ones aren't. When I look at how it has picked up a component, I have noticed that it is way off to the right (looking from the rear). This is ok for large components (TQFP, Tant Case A) but has caused the s

Enhanced board set-up, set conveyor width, load board, (your fiducials must be accurate!), use two fiducials to set reference point, click on placement(s), move crosshair to centerpoint, use two point teach to teach one point in the center or use cor

Wave Soldering Process Restrictions

Electronics Forum | Wed Feb 21 09:23:11 EST 2007 | electronhose

Probably not on the whole job, but maybe the 1-5 boards that were used for setup control. Especially MELF's are not super process tolerant. I'd probably allow standard caps and resistors one more time, but I'd need some test data to back it up. I'd

To be honest this product its only a part of bigger PCB, so we have only substrate with 3 FETs on it so no other components at substrate occurs and all substrate are staying at metal fixture. WE have already window pan aperture. WE producing this pro

Starting SMT home company.

I just purchased some PACE ST-25 systems for basic soldering and they work great. It was a deal at $155 each and they heat up FAST! Tips are around $6 each so the whole system is affordable. A step up for rework jobs would be the Metcal MX systems.
