Hi Dave F, Tried to use Contaval Pallets but it only worsens the situation. Prior to the retrofit of the Edge Hold Conveyor, our oven profiles were running well. It is probably due to the retrofit as it made the pcb 30mm farther from the bottom heat

The only time we had this problem was when the operator let the mount tool test position on the board be a mounting hole so the machine did not know where the board top was. You might want to check the mount tool position as a lot of PCB CAD people

Who did you buy this oven from? What is the model number? I bought a used Conceptronic oven last year...It ran great when I saw the demo. But, when is arrived at our factory we found someone pulled out some relays and it wouldn't heat. Hope you h

Just thought of something. Sorry to be late with this. If you decide to dewarp these boards, consider: * Marking the boards perminantly with a code to help key your failure analysis people that a customer return was processed differently than other

Does any body know how many US or europe based component manufacturers have decided not to use Sn/Bi on lead plating. Most of far east manufacturers seem to have selected Sn/Bi on their component finish. Intresting articles on Samsung,Epson and OKI w

For us, it depends on product volume: * Low volume: Tailor's scissors sharpened for the job. * Mid volume: Custom die used in a press. * High volume: We don't do this, but we'd have buy a singulation machine, er something like that. [Search the SMTne

The actual water soluble process is killing us. We sent the cloose loop tanks for regenaration each two weeks. We spent too much money sending the tank overseas. Is there a company in PR that recycles this tanks. Maybe in Florida? What is the low

First let's hear from those fellow SMTNets use MyData Placement equipment. Sencond, anyone interested in sharing MyData based package type data? We just bought a MY-15 and have very little package data available. It would be cool if we could get

Remeber Do not use any probes or fixtures to hold the lead down while soldering or rework .....this is a bad idea. I would remove the component and replace or gently push the lead back into coplanarity and resolder. This all can be done at most rewor

Your research is on track. NC flux needs to reach activation temperature. Also, do not depend on the corrosion characteristics associated with the flux classification (ie, L1, L0, M1, M0, etc.), until the flux is activated by exposure to soldering
