Hello PR, PumpPrint� technologies enable high throughput adhesive deposition using a screen printing platform. Careful selection of stencil material, and informed study of the design of apertures and other stencil features, enables a wide range of

Jim, In a previous life, we built some flex circuits for a customer. The configuration was a flex cable, with a circuit at one end of it. We had fixtures made out of the same material that we had selective wave solder fixtures made from. Cut an i

Hi Chris Good Day!!!! well we are running flex panel(150x270) with one connector(3 pin legs both sides) insert. Each panel consists of 28 parts and its used for disk drive industries. We are having a pallet to support with the top cover design such

The cause could be a lot of different things. As long as you didn't use excessive reflow temperatures, we'd guess that: * Solder mask blister: Your board fabricator should be able to demonstrate through TMA [or equivalent] analysis that the mask wa

Hi All, I am using YV100Xg YAMAHA Pick and Place Mounter Machine and I am facing a tilting problem of PLCC 84 and QFP 240 pins ICs. I deeply checked about their vision files and place them on the double sided tape and found them ACCURATE on their pad

Good Morning Everyone, I just wanted to get a feel for what other Contract Mnufacturers are doing. Do you allow a production PCB assembly with glued SMT components to be wave processed more than once? (e.g. the first pass did not produce acceptable

Probably not on the whole job, but maybe the 1-5 boards that were used for setup control. Especially MELF's are not super process tolerant. I'd probably allow standard caps and resistors one more time, but I'd need some test data to back it up. I'd

Thanks Russ. Everyone knows that when you clean your wave you wear a dust mask. Well that tells ya the lead is flying around. So same goes fr your oven. Hot solder paste turns into the lead. And like a wave it is very hot. Hot stuff vaporizes l

We're contemplating getting into BGA placement with a couple of customers, which means I'm contemplating purchasing BGA rework equipment. Currently in the research phase. My question, at this point...when reworking a BGA (say, a solder short post r

We buy our paste in Semco cartridges. You don't need a pneumatic gun to administer the paste to the stencil, just use a caulk gun which you should be able to purchase at your local hardware store. The cheap ones are about $2 (US). We have green
