Hi, We are electrodepositing Au(0.25 to 0.5 microns) on Cu & using solder ball bonding process via laser.We are getting lots of voids within the solder (not kirkendall voids). Can anyone shed some light on this problem.We are not using any flux.Pre

We are going to be evaluating a Seica firefly laser soldering system and I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on their machines? Thanks

We've been using lasers to mark barcodes on our boards for some time now. We use a CO2 laser to burn through the solder mask on most of our boards. The machine is enclosed so the operators aren't exposed to the laser. The laser is also mounted on

We have an AUREL CS1222 machine to measure the thickness of the solder paste deposited on a bare board by a stencil printer. This device has a laser beam that has to be put on the pad where you want to measure the solder paste thickness. The measure

I have dealt with it before and usually it's consistent, so you use some simple math to work around the issues. Now, if you have so much variability between different locations on your board for resist thickness, HASL thickness, etc., that it fouls

Barcode needs a light colour backgroup so that the scanner can read. No way you can mark on the solder mask and become readable. I found most of the time the investment cannot be paid back within 5 years. Most of the time it is product requirement th

I agree. The bar coded label you use should not be affected by the solder mask of the board. The label should have sharp contrast between the segments of the code to modulate the returned light and allow the reader to discriminate between light and

And this relates to robots soldering? You need > to remove yourself sirl. Hello, we do have some experience with a solder-iron robot. Tried several types and brands. Now we have 2 very good robots, works perfect, the type of robot and solderwire

Rob is right, you do need to dispense paste or pre-forms when using a laser. Although the Panasonic Soft Beam has a wire despenser. I've seen laser soldering and it does work on smaller stuff. Doesn't work well on connectors even after preheating.

FYI: There are laser selective solder machines that use standard solder wire, such as: http://www.seicatestsolutions.com/pages/161/FIREFLY.php
