You may find some wetting issues running LF HASL with 63/37, as your reflow temperatures will be significantly below the LF reflow. On fiducials...if you don't have a quote for your boards with ENIG, I would recommend at least checking it out. It's

We have a Glenbrook Jewel Box 70T, purchased about 5 years ago, Think it was around $60K quoted price (we traded in our old Glenbrook for a discount), Software pretty basic, can store images and has some graphics and image processing capability. It h

Hi all, (I posted on eevblog also, figured I'd try hear as well since this seems like a semi "niche" question) I need some advice on PCB cleaning. Up to this point, our assembly line has strictly run NC paste, with all SMT parts. We never washed an

Hi Smitty, I am currently using Manual Lock Red-E-Set, and never had problems with damaged components. Although at my last workplace, we used VarioGrid, and encountered same problems as you. I suggest checking the pins on the support tools(s) you h

Hi all. A recent board has shown some issues with graping and non-wetting on some 0402 capacitors. I believe we have the issue sorted. A combination of a 4 mil stencil with 2 mil reduction not giving us enough paste, and too long of a soak profile.

I purchased, ran, programmed, and maintained a RPS slide for a number of years and can't say that I had any major complaints about it. It ran well as long as it was maintained well (which is no different than any other SS I've worked on). Support w

Hi. To add to your homework... 1) RPS are from the former team that developed the ACE KISS product line. 2) From brief chats, NORDSON is still building the last versions of the ACE KISS designs while RPS has continued to advance the tool. 3) Anoth

I ran a SMT production line with and without SPI. I was also charged with gathering the time and defect metrics when we got our new SPI machine, comparing before and after implementation. It saved time on the printer because it didn't have to handle
