I used a Balston in another life. It wasn't large enough to provide for reflow or wave but they made them large enough. Maintenance was minimal, problems were virtually nonexistant, and like MikeS implies, the airflow requirements are substantial.

Asymtek in-line machine with the Jet head hands-down. And since you will be coating silicone you should virtually have no touch-up after it exits the machine because of the higher viscosity of this material.

| I would appreciate hearing views on vapour phase soldering particularly in respect to BGA's. | I know that they used to use CFC's but apparently this is no longer the case? | Can anyone help with some info? | Thanks, Alan Brewin Alan, Unfortunately

We use both labels and lasers to mark our boards. Since implementing the lasers, the downtime attributed to bar code labels on those lines have dropped to virtually nothing. We still have problems with the labels wrinkling during reflow making read

I and my fellows have been long term customers of Quad and recently purchased the nineth, I think, Quad machine a QSV as well as two stencil printers in the recent past. My experience with the Quad Corporation has been outstanding in terms of custom

I've been looking for a vision system which can check our fully mounted boards containing a mix of smt and thru hole. The concepts on all the machines are virtually the same, they got about 12-16 cameras, some pcb fixing and the rest is software.

Life's about learning, you got one kick in the teeth & you'll never let it happen again. We all had bad experiences in the past - it's how we learn from them & factor that knowledge into future dealings. We sold some kit to a chinese dealer recentl

When a hole is drilled during board fabrication, it can transfer resin from the base material (eg, FR4 core or prepreg) to cover the exposed edge of conductive material in the wall of a drilled hole. This is called resin smear. Etchback is a control

You're correct, uV costs 1.7X solvent-based silicone. This high purchased material cost is counter balanced by uV requiring lower thickness due to higher solids and that 60 to 80% of a solvent coating is volitile and goes up the pipe between applicat
