Think you will find every mpm is operating on dos base software, just in the last 2 years have they got software with windows base. The mouse is related to the version of software, and the old software requires only one model of mouse. Give up tryi

We use hot air leveling (HAL) process in pcb production. HAL process is 3 steps. �n 1. step flux. 2. step is HAL. And 3. step is rinsing. As you know there is mustn't any flux after rinsing operation. Our flux chemical is water soluable. But there ar

I've not seen it on a solder joint, but I've seen it on an SMT pad that had been skipped in a wave solder operation. The boards were under inspection for poor solderability. We never really pinpointed the cause. It would make a perfect 6 pointed s

Hi, I ran a clean room once, and the humidifiers were built into the exit air ducts, and controlled by a humidity control unit that kept things at 60%. We were loading VHS tapes, and needed to keep humidity at that level or static discharges caused

Just make sure you keep the half done assemblies in dry storage or do the second reflow within the time dictated by the BGAs MSD rating level. Maybe this time you did the second side with a very short wait because you were anxious about the results

That's what I'm talking about. Might need to calibrate, then. We usually rent a cal. kit and do the cal. ourselves. Just make sure you specify your block, head configuration, etc. when renting. As for frequency, we generally don't worry about it

Before you do anything to the windmills check the heights in your PD's and if you are using board supports be certain that they are set correctly. The CP 65 has approx 1.8mm of travel before the pin will get stuck, as the nozzle should only deflect .

The ad is confusing. He has NO feeders! That certainly reduces the value of the machine. Now that I know the general capability of the machine, I'm inclined not to go for it. With shipping, feeders, possible repairs, etc. it could be real expensi

Suggestions are: * Procure solderable finishes that have sufficient thickness to avoid intermetallic problems and use storage conditions that do not promote oxide growth problems. * Bagging/sealing boards has been shown to extend storage durations i
