I am looking for a small benchtop rework station for replacing bad QFP132's as well as a variety of SO8 to SO20 components and 1206 chips. I've been looking into some IR heating equipment as well as hot air tools, but have little experience with suc

Does anyone out there have a wave solder troubleshooting chart in electronic form they could e-mail me? I'm about to crank up a wave solder machine here, and the chart I got several jobs ago is missing in action. Also, if anyone remembers using a

My small R&D company (15 people) is considering the purchase of a bench top reflow oven & associated gear. The reasoning is that it would be nice to have reflow capability for 5 to 50 piece prototype runs in-house. As the only person with any real kn

We use a MIRTEC high res bench top system and are real happy with the performace. We have used it for both pre-reflow Mainly checking parts and part numbers) and post reflow for everything including solder joints. Easy to program and as you do more

About $60K for a good bench-top unit and $120K for a good in-line. AOI is justified if you are spending a lot of time ($$) visually inspecting your boards. AOI machine is faster and more reliable than a human for this task. Plus, visual inspectors d

Fixing your problems needs to be based on hard data. But hard data is difficult to get from humans. They intend to see (and repair) what they e.g. understood best or what is easy to justify. This effect can be eliminated with an AOI. If programmed ri
