I've been struggling with this problem for a while. We have two products: A, which is Ok and B, with tombstone defect (0603 & 0805 capacitor chips). A & B have the same design: pad sizes, separation between pads, components orientation. Both have s

A couple of questions for You. How old is this oven? Does it have a history of problems? When I have seen speed variations with our Omniflow 7s it is usualy the encoder but it usually spikes rather hard in one spot. You can see this physically and by

Look to the no-Pb solderpaste mfr. specs for on-board temps. For example, Indium Corp. has a product that performs at on-board temps of 229C. Now, your BTU oven will handle this no problem, as will most modern ovens. Its all about thermal mass. Look

Well, regarding the paste specifications, it's no problem to add yours if it's not allready defined in the default library; parameters are for example, soak temp min & max, liquidous, ramp positive max, spike ramp min & max, all timings and so on. n

We are printing on an assembly using SAC305 Alloy Sn96.5 Ag 3 Cu .5 with a no clean flux and getting virtually NO spread with either a ramp to spike or straight ramp profile. We are printing to standard FR4 board with immersion Ag finish. I am trying

The sampling rate on the KIC software can be changed by the user. The default setting is a sample rate of 60 seconds, so that, every 60 seconds the "old" measurement is subtracted from the "new" measurement to calculate the slope (i.e., start temp i

It all depends on what type of board you need to solder. If your boards are small in size and low thermal mass and your conveyor speed requirments are normal, then I'd say the OmniFlo 7 will do the job. It has a max zone temp setting of 280C. The cur

Here in Rihad, I am in the midst of Pb-Free implementation, and most of our paste manufacturers have advised that with the higher peak temperatures, you need to retain the activators as long as possible. I have changed our profiles to a more gradual

Pavel Point: You suspect that solder paste can easily get to solder mask causing beading, because the aperture is larger than the component pad. Comment: Probably, this is incorrect. We overprint on solder mask all day long when doing paste-in-hol
