If N2 is not an option, the cut wire feeder or drilled wire are your best bet for now. You need to optimize wire feed rate as well. The solder joint on the robot takes about the same time to form as in manual soldering. If you need to speed the solde

Electronic devices required higher speed, I/O capability, and density to meet standard requirements. Automated robotic soldering solutions that meet the demands of applications are too challenging for hand soldering. Manual soldering, even with the m

Steve, I agree with the recommendation to check the temperature. This is the first place to go. Is this an IPA or water based Noclean? What is the topside temp of the assembly at the effected areas? If you are too cold you will have a tendency to hav

We only have solder balling problems in the interface of the pcb with the selective soldering pallet. All other boards (single, and double sided glue and waved alike) are fine, so I'm not thinking this is going to follow the normal path for resoluti

Unfortunately it's nc or we'd be worrying about this on the fly. Non-contact is defintely and issue....this is an 18"x9" board with 1500 bottom side SMT parts that are scattered among the through-hole and vice-versa. We're currently using 7 hold-

Have you check the flux gravity lately? If not, Check the flux gravity every 6 hours to make sure proper parameters are meet. Here is a list of things that may cause your solder ball problems; Excecive heat, defective fixtures, preheating temperature

If you can, attach athermocouple to the locations where you are getting solder balls. A previous product I had showed the same thing and we found that we had inadequate preheat leaving the liquid flux to splatter when it hit the wave. It could aslo

I have found that preheating the solder pallets prior to use helps cut down on the solder balling. Also, we do not cool the pallets between passes and we use a spray fluxer because a hot pallet will knock down the head on a foam fluxer. We use WS f

We're trying a selective soldering pallet for the first time with mixed reviews. Are solder balls a prevalent problem with this process? Most of them seem to correspond with pallet wall locations....is it too much turbulence from the rotary chip wav
