How do other people check their solder joint strength after a process change? For example, say you are getting wetting problems and you feel that a change to the reflow profile may help, or perhaps a slight change to the stencil aperture to reduce so

If someone knows specifically what the sequence of events is in a Topaz placement step I'd appreciate it if you could share that with me. We've developed an intermittent problem with ours where it places the part and immediately stops with E0873. T

Hi, good day to all. This is my 1st question post in this forum. Hope able to share some knowledge here. As we know QFP area like 0.4mm pitch was a very critical area to control especially those PCB using silkscreen printing process manufactured. Onc

Another thing to make sure of and the vision calibration system will fail if this is out of range: Use a magnet foot stand micrometer and measure the spindle run outs. First remove the nozzles and nozzle adapters, then put the adjustable tip (I dont

Sounds like Mydata might be one you could look at, for example. I don't have experience with them but they do have "smart" feeder capability. Some machines use electronically controlled and motor driven feeders, some use pneumatic and/or mechanicall

To get beyond the 36,000 cph threshhold the turret manufacturers had to focus on ways to get the boards in and out of the machine faster. This also included loading more boards inside the worknest. The end result in Fuji's case (CP-643), was a table

We believe that tip tinners reduce the life of the tip, also. Why do you use such a product? We like using solder paste to clean solder tips. Place expired solder paste in a covered container. Open container and dip the tip. It comes out clean and s

In addition to the pre-emptive steps mentioned above, in my experience there are certain BGA package designs that seem more prone to that corner bridging. I have seen some packages that will essentially "curl" down at one corner as the package begin
