yeah I’ve tried to go down the road of internal recycling but the company carnt justify spending 20k on a machine that does it. Ah but where still onto it in other places though our SMT department has very minimal wastage on solder paste as we have b

The biggest fear is mixing the solder pastes and bar solder. Had a training program for teaching folks what the alloys are and how to read them. I have locked up the bar solder and use the buddy system to restock the pot. Put up many signs on le

easier if you recycled on-site? You can still send off for reclaimation the oxide powder that your left at the end of the process. Failing that talk to your supplier to see if they have arrangements to do this for you or look at reducing dross - i f

Well, it finally happened. A machine Operator did not follow our bar code process and "grabbed a tube of solder paste" and guess what. Built 250 assemblies with LF paste when it should have been Tin/Lead!!!! SOLDER PASTE SUPPLIERS: can you make t

We bought a new lead free wave from Electrovert about a year ago and opted to not have the nitrogen options installed on this machine. We could not justify the cost of the nitrogen used versus the benefits that we would see. One downfall is that you

Hi Tom, Thanks for the compliment. I've been researching and planning for the time that my company would go lead free since late in 1999. I hear you there, how do we know that the component is lead free. Baring a leap of faith with your vendors, I

With high volume production, this can happen. The flux is vaporizing in the heating zones, and is condensing in the cooling zones. Depending on the machine, cooling can act differently on different machines. Less cooling may reduce this problem.

If you are saying you're going through 1kg/h while only producing 300 pcbs a week and the rest of the time the machine is standing still, then 1.there is something seriously wrong with your machine or 2. check if an operator is suddenly covered in sh

Joseph, What is the topside temp reading of your board before reaching the pot? Do you have top-heater in your wave machine? It sounds like; you got an insufficient per-heating issue.

Good day all, I am wondering if there is a company out there that sells kits that contain a board, components and the stencil? When we get our new reflow and wave machines in I will need numerous boards to run and evaluate until I can get the process
