I have used many of these devices recently and have used them several times over the last few years. I have been successful using a type 4 paste on a 5 mil stencil. The 13 mil round aperture should provide you with an area ratio just adequate for r

Chrys: Funny that you mention that, but here at my company, our oven is blamed on almost everything: skewing, tombstoning, solder shorts, etc.... In fact, we often have to tell the supervisors, "It's not the oven because we don't turn the skewing

Some key data is needed 1) how often does the HS 50 machines run? 24/7? 2)How many placements are being performed? I know for a fact Siemens Siplace S/F platforms require weekly preventative maintenance. Knowing the sophistication of the HS platform

Although focusing on solderability may be the right answer, I wonder if you are satisfied that co-planarity is not the root cause. With random events of contact opens, this may be the case. Cleanliness of the stencil can also be a source of your pr

Our company strictly does selective conformal coating applications for the customer. We will quite often see one side looks great, and the other side doesn't. We often see dewetting around holes, and have found this can be a possible flux build up. A

1) determine the rate of cleaning frequency related defects your production can tolerate. 2) determine the frequency that nets you that defect rate, or lower, but also consider the cost of cleaning materials and throughput if you're cleaning very oft
