Yes we are. They are considered the Cadillacs of spot solder - so they better work. But yes, we have never had a repeatability problem in 5 years.

Dyoungquist, As I know RPS is doing that equipment from a long time and ACE is actually formed by x employees from RTS. KISS 104 looks exactly the same as RPS Rythm. :) The point is that if you want to use wave soldering machine, adhesive will be

Hi Patrick Yes we have some that you cant tell the difference. BUT machine set up and angle are extremely important with Lead Free as is the dosing alloy. Cheers Greg

Hi Patrick We get this with the right settings in a small machine without Nitrogen Nice picture of yours as well Cheers Greg

Hi Peter Its looks on a par with mine so not bad at all but our alloy is considerably cheaper than SAC305 and significantly shinier We used our 10-75-30-R VOC free flux with topside of 100 - 105C Cheers Greg

we have omron, before buy I have evaluated lot of other machines, what I like most is the three ring at different angle lighting which allows pseudo 3-d solder joint evaluation and historgams with statistics, you can see out of total solder joints ho

I am printing on DEKs and using simulara paramateres as for a solder it works really fine. In general going faster gives you more paste/glue. Less pressure gives you more paste/glue again. All the rest depends on your current board. Regards, Emil

Yes I agree with Emil that the Jig/Fixture design is crucial for alignment. The hot-bar machine I worked with came with a digital camera and monitor to aid with alignment. Other than that, the right profile (heat, pressure and dwell), and a good fl

Oh,I consider the process is wrong,it is stencil print paste-mount-reflow -apply glue-reflow,then wave solder. it must pass twice reflow,also the first reflow profile is different and the second .

Hi Konrad, Nothing is ever Clearly one persons issue. Color differences could be caused by many things. 1) Being the solder mask is a two part mix, there is never a 100% guarantee that the color will be the same from lot to lot. 2)the Manufactur
