Hi, In Melbourne expect about A$15 per hour for basic labour, A$17 per hour for team leader level, and $20-$25 per hour for better, but it depends on how talented. If your talented, you could make a lot more in the right company. Australia is low

Hi Craig: I agree with muse. The problems almost always will show up later on duringg life cycles in terms of reliability problems. While the solder joints may look acceptable right after production there is no guarantee of meeting the reliability r

I have a less than perfectly designed pcb requiring double sided lead free reflow. Several components from either side will detatch using the standard process. If I was using Sn63Pb37 I would just dispense some adhesive after paste and cure at the r

First of all, do not use kapton tape! It tends to cause a dewetting effect around the tape. A call to Humiseal will explain why. There's not really a blanket answer to your question.... Removing cured liquid mask can often result in a fillet ef

Hi, Guru, you are completely full of crap. I have had three MYDATA machines, and battled with accuracy the whole time we had them. We did every upgrade, and added the latest feeders and line scan cameras. In the end we could not keep the accuracy g

My my my, where do I go with this?!?!? SMT Guru Expert Superior Process God, I agree with you about "thinking outside the box". We do that at my facility everyday. But there are times when you need to "jump thru hoops". It's a fine balance in co

Efren, Most of the previous posts offer valuable information. Certainly you should consider panelization of the individual circuits. Otherwise you'll waste valuable production time passing 3" boards along the line. Your orig estimate of min thruput

Marc, Topside temperature is one of the most critical parameters for a successful solder process. Temp stickers are OK to use but won�t tell you the temperature in tight areas. The temp gun like Jay suggested is what I use as a quick indicator. (Rayt

I might be wrong since I don't know this piece of equipment but I think ROL might be a better measure. For 63/37 it used to be 20 ppm ROL (residual oxygen level) was about what you needed for a reflow oven. This is to take full advantage of all tha
