One diagnostic tool that I have found useful in the past is the "hot plate test". Place suspect components and/or PCB's on a hot plate and turn it on High. Then observe. Granted the conditions on the hot plate are not the same as in a reflow oven,

1.- Check your vacuum a.- Check filters b.- Check air flow (the vacuum is generated by a Ventury using air flow, not air pressure) c.- Vaccum vias (Possible linth inside the vacuum lines) 2.- Check the nozzle condition (Probably broken o

Hello Bobpan, Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry I didn't reply yesterday as I'd gone home - I'm in the UK, so I'm guessing there's a time difference. Okay, I found the control to turn off the vacuum verify - it's SHIFT - SWITCH/VERIFY. Makes no di

There are a number of different things to ask youreself here. What type of flux are you using. 330, 351, 310 etc. Do you have a hot air knife? As for the residue, that's gonna show on almost any wave soldered pcb. We have fought the issue for a long

Hello, We are qualifying new sources of PWB vendors. We've got the first lot of "produciton" boards in and we want to put them through the paces before turing the vendors on. So far, the tests I can think of performing, and that we have the capabi

Minor problem with rejected parts on a GSM C4 single flex head. UIC support was helpfull but I thought some of you may have encountered this problem and know what's the matter. We are rejecting 1 out of 3 SOT-63 parts. The problem is occuring to part

This (along w/ everything else we do) is not high volume. Actually, we're dropping a batch of 7 the first of the week, and that's fairly sizeable for us. I talked with my stencil design folks and sent them a scrap board and all my gerber info. I t

We agree with all of the previous comments, and would add the following: Warpage is generally caused by excess moisture in the raw boards. Have you tried baking the boards prior to assembly? We had this issue on a simple 4-layer board, and found t

If you hold your board sideways in a 90 degree angle you apply a force of 1 g to your components. 1 g translates into 32 ft / sec. square. This is not too much acceleration for fearless roller coaster drivers but Melf�s and Tantalums can fall off at
