Hi, I would immediately go out and purchase a profiler as you will save the cost of it on rework savings. We use a SlimKIC, and the software with it's so good it will let you adjust the oven temps to make your profile fit your paste specifications

You can continue repair and rework with tin/lead solder until 7/06. However!!! Any product still on the shelves overseas after 7/06 will be returned to the USA. Thought? Maybe start repairing with SAC305 now? Also SAC is Tin, Silver and Copper. No Ni

Hi, We just installed some XP Fuji's and they are totally amazing, and place everything perfectly. We have not actually had any misplacements yet in the two weeks running, and they are fast, so I am very happy with them. Going to add a couple more.

Steve, You are correct in that X-Ray image of a BGA will not show flux residue. So what? If you are using no clean flux then I would think it doesn't matter if there is some flux residue. Sure if you are reworking a BGA and the operator dumps t

We are experiencing fracture problems with 0805 X7R capacitors. The capacitors seem to fail in tension; during hot-air rework they come apart in two pieces with the fracture near the metallization end. Only X7R SMT components are affected, C0G and Y

CRITICAL DILEMA! Has anyone run into the problem described below and if so, what was the fix (besides not dealing with this Supplier)? Also, we do not have component manufacturing process experience. We are purchasing a surge resistor that function

I am not a current user of PACE TF1500 however, I have evaluated it along with other systems before making a decision. Wasn't a good system for us. We could not achieve consistency / repeatable results from board to board. Basically, we found it t

Hi Efren Unfortunately I cannot say about prices, because I don't know them in your region. But I can offer you to consider the world-leader manufacturers of each type of equipment. I think you can obtain all information through their web-sites. We s
