I have to agree with Jax. We've had some successes, and some horrible failures using white-tin. Generally in solderability, and apparently related to the somewhat more rapid deterioration of white-tin finishes. We've run white-tin as an SMT only

Thank you ChrisW. I agree completely. The decision to idle the temperature or turn the wave off is primarily a function of machine utilization. Period. The utilization % break even point for idle vs. turning the heat off is calculated by comparing th

Hi everybody, In Sweden It's stipulated by government law and has been for more than 40 years; that if you are working in hazardous areas where your eyes could get hurt in industries like grinding, welding, mining facility etc. etc etc. etc. etc. or

This is one of the biggest mistakes with the Lead Free process. We have all listened to the 'industry experts' and followed their advice and unfortunately got it wrong. Keep the dwell times (dependant on alloy selection) the same as Leaded so you are

Which type? * Solder beads (mid-chip solder balls, attached to the waste line of your chip caps and resistors) This is more paste volume related. * Solder balls that tend to be more randomly scattered (as in spattered)? This tends to be more profile

We have a potential new customer who has special PCB requirements. I do not know a lot of details at this point, but have several questions. One of their assemblies has within it , a MID, Solid foil layer, completely isolating one side of the PCB f

Hello Daxman, Thanks for the input. Yes, the CP2 is closely related to the CP4 and does have the analog servo amps as you deduced. I did a wiggle test on the connectors and found that the x-y-r servo amp alarmed right away and blinked the x axis a
