I'm looking for some input on a pay scale for experienced SRT/DRS operators. They do not do any profiling or process work - only remove/site prep/replace type work, along with any 'special' jobs like trace repair, masking repair, etc. They're current

So the only difference between the "regular solderers" and the BGA people is trace repair? If that is it than you should put the pay in range with your PCB repair people. We do not pay any extra for BGA rework since all they do is wick pads (common

Charles: Here are a few possibilities you might want to check: 1) Conveyor width -- if the conveyor is too tight this will cause the boards to buckle as they go through the preheat section. We recently had this happen when we changed operators. 2

I have the identical machine and setup as you with the same issue(s). I looked at setting up for N2 but am choosing to retrofit to a standard lambda nozzle setup. If you are soldering bottom side SMT parts or other challenging assemblies, N2 may ma

You weren�t clear but I assume the problem is not widely distributed and affects only a few parts on each board. Do this trick: * Cut a ~1� piece of fairly serious wire, like 18 or 12 AWG. * Strip the insulation. * Gear-up with gloves, glasses, and

As long as your operator is grounded, a pair of welders gloves is fine. The leather kind do not build up static and do last a while. If the same pair of gloves is being used for dedrossing the wave, pay special attention to loose fitting gloves. I

Hi everybody, First of all, to have process under 100% control you should have AOI after every active process in the pcb assembly line : - Post printing (2D or 3D Solder paste inspection machine); - Post reflow; - Post selective(wave solder). It i

We'd expect the contract assembly houses in your area could do that soldering for you. Ooops, you said 'customer' that means you're a contract assembly house and don't want to give business to your competitor or give them a lead on your customer. Me

Andy, I think you'll find as many answers to your questions as you have people that post them. To that end, here are mine: Planning to pay off the machine...we took it as an overhead cost, and didn't directly correlate cost of the machine to job co
