Also Jan, Don't you have to send your components through a filter program when transfering from a 4796 to a 4791 or vice versa. I know you have to do this when transfering a 4790 program to a 4791 because the speed data does not transfer correctly. I

I have a knack for asking those "set-up" questions of sales types during their presentations. It's so bad, I don't even have to pay for lunch to attend SMTA meetings. The "presenter" pays for Dave. YES!!! I've read the Richard S. Clouthier "SMT S

Time, time, time. There just never seems to be enough!!! Eh? You�re correct. Depending on the material, some trays can take a high temperature bake, while other trays, in addition to tubes, and reels, require a low temperature bake. With this la

Are you using a water based flux? Are the solder balls mainly around or near non-plated holes or near the edges of the PCB? If so the preheat must be set so the water content of the flux is fully evaporated before the board hits the solder wave. If

Interesting...the very reason we use water soluble paste on some of our boards is for that reason, although I've never been able to get anyone to show me something in print that supports it. It's just what engineering has told me. We currently have

Deja vu! When I read your response I turned around to see if you standing behind me listening to our problem. We currently make about 50 different boards all using no-clean that have no problems, yet this newest boards has a couple of issues that eng

Hi Dave, I looked into the South Coast Air Quality Management District Clean Air Solvent Certification when I was having my problems with VOCs. The problem with the SCAQMD CAS Certification is that it only certifies chemicals as they are found in t

I think your solder mask is a partial cause of your solder balling. Additionally, adjusting some machine set-up parameters may also help. 1 If we were talking about a single assembly problem, we�d be thinking about the laminate, but since you say t

If you do not have one of the big in-line aqueous cleaners, then there is an easier way that is a lot less expensive. I suggest you try Asahi's AK-225T vapor degreasing solvent which has been around for 10 years now. And it is legal. If you have
