Jim, In most cases if you can eliminate a process you will save money. With that in mind, an all surface mount or all through hole design is prefered. There are alternatives to that rule, like hybrid designs that can be pin and paste soldered. It al

The beamworks new software on teh 100 is great but went to outstanding when the 60 watt leser was installed and the performance went up 60% in speed. The new software requires the temp of the solder for melting and the ammount to be despenced and the

It appears a disgruntled employee has sabatoged my Sapphire solective solder. Along with cut ribbon cables, I think some jumpers were removed from the system board. D.O.M: '98. I was hoping that some nice person could take a picture of the system b

I use a two machines from EBSO, Germany. It's a machines with PCB carrier, so, solder pot is fixed. I'm fully satisfied with this equipment, but I use only wettable nozzles. If you would like to buy a new machine, not in used condition, EBSO will be

A thorough analysis is in order because laser point-to-point soldering lacks the flexibility of the bottom sided miniwave systems. My experience showed that heating profiles could be grossly affected by color temperature and thermal mass. This can be

The biggest factor is the selective solder machine. Do you want to know the minimum distance that all selective solder machines can handle with no difficulty? If so that will be a fairly large distance. If you are designing for in house boards then y

hi all and a happy new year, does anyone know if there are any industry best practices for board design in terms of selective soldering?? Whilst right now the product portfolio of my company is not suitable for the introduction of a selective solderi
