We had the same problem with our E5. I had the shop make us a template for each two-sided board out of some 1/16" acrylic. The template had cutouts in it to drop the pins through where the bottom side parts weren't. Seemed to work fairly well, no com

we do a similar thing but make the template from paper, we just print out an image from the gerbers (to size) showing both sides in different colours, we set this down on the table (had to work out first where the correct position was) then we place

There is a quick change dedicated tooling solution. It involves a "h-tower" and a machined vacuum (or non-vacuum) plate. There are two 8mm threaded holes on the table that are there for support tooling interface. The tower or tooling bolts to thos

normally one side is hydroentangled the other is not there is only one correct side which should be lint free and the other full of lint.that is wny people should never use rolls on both sides. Im of course talking typically (not sure of jnj brand) t

Check for coplaner leads if this just exists at reflow process, i.e. look at part before oven, turn on 3D at placement machine. If you see after wave solder, the wave could cause coplanarity issues on top as well if you are going slow enough to refl

Is the solder reflowing on the pad but not wicking up the lead, or does there appear to be insufficient solder to wet both, or is it not reflowing at all, or.....? Have you verified your profile? What is the condition of your paste (expiration date,

By profile (profile has not been changed) are you referring to the oven zone settings or the actual charted profile of a trip through the oven as recorded by a thermal profiler? Some ovens will continue to function without warning as long as temps

BGA cracking is caused by mechanical stress. This may be the result of: * Rough handling of soldered board * Inadequate consideration during package design of CTE effects on BGA * Poor control of or selection of thermal ramp rates during soldering

Hi, Could it be shocks in transit? This is only happening on 1 product, so might point to chassis and packing design. Does anyone know of any shock indicators that we could put inside the chassis to see if the faults are caused by this? I have seen
