Hi, Thanks for all the help guys, and we did a bunch of things to get it working. We raised the pump speed, and also went to a water based flux, which helped a lot. We also reduce pre heat as we were burning off the flux. It's doing really nice jo

Howdy Bolos, My question to you is why do you feel the need to buy new equipment? We've changed over our processes to lead free and used our existing equipment. Heller 1500 (5 zone convection reflow) Electrovert econopak (wave solder) Honestly we hav

Hi, Yes, I agree, and it seems like these studies were designed to show that lead free soldering was better than lead based soldering, and they threw in some results of lead components soldered in a lead free process, which seemed about the same rel

I think Siemens 80 S20 is a great machine. I worked on them for a few years, with very little problems. They are extremely easy to maintain. I think a complete PM took about an hour. The software is good and user friendly. You can change one over

Larry, You always seem to twist things back to your wave solder process, ya nut! Anyway, why over simplify things when you are trouble shooting a process? The K.I.S.S. process was invented by your generation so I thought you of all people would l

Hi Mika, I used to work for the largest chip cap manufacturer in the world, and by far the largest problem we would see was cracking due to incorrect z height adjustment on Chipshooters. It can also cause solderballs and bad joints by displacing th
