Verizon Supports Telcordia's Position on the RoHS Directive. New legislation known as "RoHS" (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) bans certain chemicals and metals from some electronic manufacturing. In order to maintain high and predictable network

Link to the TRI reporting requirements: http://www.epa.gov/tri/report/rfi/rfi_ry2007%203_13_2008.pdf In contradiction to the more stringent TRI reporting requirements, I read an article not too long ago that the EPA was considering taking lead of t

Im not sure that 0.004% is that critical in a solder alloy. If people are using our alloy and the Nickel increases we would most probably suggest running a dopant alloy without Nickel to bring the levels back down, it is very rare to require dumping

Dany, Thank you for posting your question. At Omron Electronics, we believe, and consistently are proven to be the leaders in Solder Joint inspection. We have been manufacturing AOI systems longer than any other company in the market and are often i

Chris, The red/blue filter as you call it (on the MV3L it's called HorzVert Sum I think) has become my go-to light source view for manual visual evaluation of flagged solder defects. Of all the lighting sources available, this one gives me the best

Hello, I have two of these for the last 3 years(MV-7xi). Buy the machine with the best camera they offer and with the telecentric lens - it gives great view and resolution. I had to replace the controller for conveyer open/close on both of them. I a

Hi, we're currently running a design with a fairly simple BGA. The problem we're running into is poor solderability (cold looking joints, high voiding in the BGA). All of this on a know good oven, with a known good thermal profile. I'm guessing it

I've used VJ Electronics Summit series of rework machine. I liked the programing interface. You can used canned scripts for basic removal/replacement processes or you edit/write your own if you want a customized work flow. The machines are very ope

Unlike Solderpro, I'll admit I'm just a bit biased towards PACE's new ADS200 High Powered Professional Soldering Station. Up to 120 Watts of pure power in an inexpensive, all metal package ($239 in the US), as powerful as a Metcal, JBC and Hakko, yet

I own a metcal for the high precision work 1500$ in 1992 tips $60 in 1992 and have only used one tip in all that time, have horses holves for large pin devices, precision points for 0402 and a largest tip for service work. Also have Hakkos for bulk
