What affect does moisture have on sensitive components on a board as it waits for thru-hole assembly? Suppose I run a batch of boards today and the assembly dept won't be able to get to it til maybe a month from now, is it okay to just let the boards

If you want someone to do it for you, hire a consultant. IF you think its going to be handed to you over the web, get real. I don't think coke Inc would be where it is today if it published the formula to coke. For that matter, any CM or OEM would

We currently use a KIC 2000 system to profile on our oven and create our recipes. I had a customer in today reviewing our profiles, and he had concerns that we were exceeding 4 deg. c/sec. on our profiles. The process window parameters that we use

Most metal stencils today are cleaned with a water based cleaning solution. 3 choices are most typical: (1) Water only for water-soluble paste (2) Water + Organic for rosin and no-clean (low residues. This affords lower temperatures and is easier t

I have been comparing Mirtec to Yestech on a regular basis. As a AOI trainer and installer, I have seen significant difference between the machines. 1. In a side by side comparison just today, using the same board, I found the following: a. Insp

Thanks for the reply fellas, I spent all day today working on these machines, and indeed, this is bizzare. The main line was in production, and the placement was excellent on the CP6. I transferred a reel (400 parts per board) to the CP4 and the p

Today's regular Sn-Pb paste chemistries are designed to run at higher peak temperatures ensuring that your lead-free alloys will coalesce with your regular Sn-Pb solder. That being said, it is do-able to solder both types in one oven. Generally, wit

"45* is a common angle of attack. Squeegee blades are commonly manufactured at 60*. The combination of the angle of attack and the blade angle results in an actual printing angle between the two due to down pressure and flex of the blade." Ahhhh, so

I would like to freeze feeders on a global basis. I am tired of table changeovers everytime I run a different board. A good example is today I ran 1 board which went well. I wanted to run a board behind it that had 99% the same parts. I am not necess
