We pipe a nonfunctional witness mark on every board. We inspect the witness mark. Ours consists of six pairs of dots arranged in a five-pointed star pattern. Again, consider paying attention to the cause of the problem. Your machine is NOT operat

Hello All, I was given an assembled flex circuit PCB and asked how the board was depanelized as there are no view-able witness marks that I can see. Any ideas? Thanks in advance on any insight to depanelizing without leaving witness marks on the F

I'm not aware of any such stipulation about witness [probe] marks for assembled boards, per se. Certainly, witness marks should not affect the intended performance of the assembly, you know, like damaging the solder connection or smudging solder mate

Actually, if you experience lack of witness marks, you probably have a problem. Witness marks are OK and will not affect your assembly. I assume this is an SMT assembly we are talking about, in which case, this is what your test pads are for. You

Stephan makes good points. While monitoring the temperature in the plant is good, it might be more appropriate to measure the temperature in the cabinet of your dispensor. A sure indicator of temperature change is process changes over time. Consid

There is a variation on the pins that come through on the other side. The pins that are deforming are roughly half the size of those which aren't deformed.There are no witness marks on the pins that are deformed, suggesting that the pins aren't fouli

Hi Pavel, We regularly use over printing on a multitude of problem parts including fine pitch QFP's. In an Automotive Environment the only thing you can change without a mountain of paperwork is the stencil. best way to work out how much you can get

When you say that glue viscosity changes for lot to lot, is this LOT TO LOT of your product OR Loctite�s product? And when you say that glue viscosity changes, what do you mean [eg, increase by � , decrease by � , er watt?]. What specifically is th

Its kind of nice to be able to put a dirty stencil in the cleaner and get a dry clean one out. That pretty much points to the spray units with a dry cycle. Things to consider, chemistry consumption, how your stencils are bound, maintenance,and of c
