The first picture shows an issue. Note that the vias adjacent to the interior rows are filled with solder. At the outside rows this is not evident. What you might have are interior spheres that are smaller in volume than the rows on the outide, si

Subtle spamvertising there. Lower Cost small machine brands worth looking at are probably: Mechatronic Intelligent Drives (UK only?) TWS Autotronik or their Manncorp branded models in the USA Fritsch Innotech Heeb (a virtually invisible market share

Yes, car rims (and brass tubas)! You finally helped me get to the bottom of this expensive issue. We fired the culprit. It's the same guy that was using the ultrasonic stencil washer to clean car parts on night shift. It might be snake oil, I don

Damn near impossible. You need to see a real change in the difference between the 2 elements you are reading. So to give yourself any hope run 2 long traces one top one bottom up the length of the board. Then compare to 2 wriggly traces at one end (o

I do not have machine experience, but I think vacuum too early would be a more likely cause of chips leaping to a nozzle. Juki nozzles are made of hardened stainless and could be slightly magnetic, but the end is relatively small and would not have t
