At my last employer, we ran a number of tests to make a "Hybrid" profile work (same profile Joe lists) . It worked great for everything but BGAs. The problem (6 months ago) was using parts not rated for lead free reflow temps. As the market fills wit

We just ran a study to try to determine this. We exposed the paste to 85% humidity to simulate worst case manufacturing. At various times we removed the paste from the chamber and tested it for tack, solder balling, wetting (copper coupon), and vis

We found that the Pro-flow cartridges had paste in them we couldn't get out, that seemed more wasteful than the Rheo-pump. We ran both and I agree with the previous posting, that comfort level with the machine 2D, software etc. were more important. W

kris, Thats what I said when the rep. advised me. But I had called him in to advise me on some problems I was seeing on a certain boards. When we ran at this elevated Temperature "bingo" the results were perfect. So as you know yourself wrt wave pro

Can anyone tell me if there is a procedure for storing raw PCB's? We currently are seeing an issue with lead free boards with dewetting. We tracked it down to one or two datecodes, but not all of the boards have dewetting. Is there a expiration da

We are using Ekra Stencil printers and they are great except for 1 problem... We run several different boards a day and we need a way for the operators to place the pin supports in the same postions on the second side of the board everytime a board i

When I do the adjust to make sure the vision and tolerance is working it works perfectly. But if the machine runs a board I am riddled with this. I have checked the vacuum levels on all the heads and they are within where they are supposed to be for

Hi Zac, was that board finished with tin/lead HASL or leadfree/HASL? Also what type of flux were you using? Just because a board is fresh out of sealed packaging doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to solder well. The picture that I've attached
