Chris: I can't a semi-auto dip tank being any faster than manually dipping. Better control - yes. Less messy - yes. Other stuff Graham mentioned - yes. Have you discussed your goals with some of the used equipment folks listed in the archives?

If you are talking about failure analysis and machine utilization information try looking at CIMCIS. They have a wide variety of products that can help. You might not even need their services, most SMT equipment has software packages that will allre

Got this off newsblip this morning. The Associated Press MOSCOW (January 16, 2001 7:06 a.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com) - The Russian government has tentatively scheduled the destruction of the Mir space station in a controlled collision with E

On a related note, I'm wondering if any of the newer devices have any way to factor in paste not releasing from the corners, or for that matter, radiused, oval, or round apertures. We have an LSMII, and all it does it let you draw a rectangle around

We are a manufacturing facility of ruggedized offroad electronic control systems. We are looking for industry standards/benchmarks we can use to compare with other manufacturers with regards to our DPMO rate for our SMT process. We would like to kno

Mark - The Waverider is a great tool. It will let you know what's going on with the machine itself - contact time in the wave, parallelism of the wave, temp, and a relative idea of whats happening in the preheat section, and conveyor speed. We hav

Pete: It sound like somewhere through all that you should have gotten good product. Here�s a couple of questions on your board: * How are the SOIC positioned relative to the wave? * How are you controlling the flatness of the second wave? * What

.... an 18-20 week lead-time is why we're doing this. Ideally I'd prefer to form them into gull-wing (except we'd have to do it by hand and that'd be difficult to control), but it's a hell of a lot quicker and more consistent just to run them throug

It really isn't that difficult to control. Have one of your mechanical or manufacturing engineers design a quick little fixture. We used to have the same problem, then we designed a two piece fixture out of aluminum. We also had our own tape and r

As per Travis's reply it could be something other than the reflow process. Another good one is if the printed PCB's have been cleaned down due to print misregistration etc.. If not properly controlled paste residues can remain distributed about the p
