Yeah, perhaps lean more towards a ramp-to-spike profile - reducing the soak time and add a littel heat to your temp above liquid. This has worked for us with water soluable paste as we are not required to use no-clean and utilizing a 6-zone oven. G

Well, I have not had a chance to run my experiment yet. I hope to have the wave solder machine to myself on Friday morning. I will let you know. I am hopefull from what you and the others have said that it will work and we can reduce our touch lab

Hi all, Having been designing (3d modelling and programming) stencils and tooling (solderwave carriers,print support etc) for several years I am now investigating whether it would be possible to do this from home. I live in the UK and am therefore ab

Hello Dave, I can understand why you might not use the auto-correct function based on the time it takes to perform the operation. I question why there is an auto-correct function in the first place? If I understand the way this works correctly, the m

As everyone else said, if you don't have CAD, it's a pain to digitize the gerbers. So much so that we only did it once when I went to CircuitCam training. After you digitize the gerbers, you have to merge the BOM with it. And you have to tell it p

We are also looking for AOI machines, pre- and post-reflow. We already tried one machine from the UK (I don't remember the name, I perfer to forget we ever had it) and they told is it would do everything we wanted. Maybe so, but not well enough. It s

Look into a used Siemens F-4 or F-5. These machines can be had for a reasonable cost, they are easy to maintain, the footprint is small (7' X 7.5') and they are simple to program. These machines have a 12 nozzle "Star" revolving placement head for

Nozzles are really machine specific. Your best bet, if you're looking for the correct nozzle for a part, would probably be to send a strip of parts and the data sheet to the manufacture of the machine and ask them for their recommendation. Most machi

Hi All, I see more and more components like QFN or LGA with bottom-only terminations,with landpatterns getting finer all the time. I have no ppm-figures of our process, but based on a benchmark study by Agilent I'd say that 500 ppm is a decent value

Hi, I would agree. We purchased a TP9 just the slow machine, but we were a small company at the time, and it worked fantastic. Almost no maintenance, and it's a dream to changeover. The serivce in Australia is also very good, but that does not appl
