We recently trialled a range of different solder pastes. Some just did not have the "green strength" to hold the components when placed by the higher speed machines. I'd never seen this before and spent a day and a half checking all the things everyo

Thanks for the info on the printers. I have printed conductive epoxy on Dek 265 with great success in the past. The issue I have is that I need to attach with both epoxy and solder on the same side of the PCB. I could double print. Print conductiv

It sound you have already discovered to root cause, flux entrapment in the via holes. Short of changing the desing, here are sone suggestions. The main thing is you have to dry out the via holes of the wet flux. Some things to try are: slow down t

Good for you!!! Similar to Steve's comments ... 1. NON-WETTING DEFECT: Yes. Your Lonco is a �stand and deliver� flux. Not some limp wrested impersonation of a flux like most nc fluxes. Without speculating about �incompatability�, recognize that

It�s up to you what and how you perform. I was only wondering how your figures match with todays performance efforts and predictions made by the industry. The stress today is obviously on change over times and concepts to minimize this time especiall

Thank you all very much for the responses. The solder is eutectic and the problem, as far as I can tell, has been around before I was here, 2+ years. The flow machine is a treiber with 2 bottom preheaters and 1 top. The solder pot temp is 500F +/-4F

I have recently been asked to look into some problems that we are having at wave. It is common for us to have unsoldered joints for boards that have SMT parts epoxied to the bottom side. Recently we have had a problem with a gold plated board. The wa

I am looking for some equipment with a fairly undemanding capability. I would appreciate pointers to potential suppliers. Dispense size 0603 chips only, speed can be as low as 60 chips per minute. Only one type of component (ie one reel) is loaded.

Armin, The obvious disadvantages for an in-line printer is initial cost and flexibility for smaller shops that depnd on high mix, low volume batch builds from their printer to support multiple projects at the same time. The advantage is quality a
