Hi I will like to know what do you think about cleaning hand solder, my employee spend about 25% of they time to brush they hand solder with teddy pen cleaner, we used no clean solder wire. It�s not been the first time that I try to eliminate those c

I have been had doing surface mount boards for a while and am now looking for a cheap fairly small footprint machine to help get more boards out. The problem is I don't know a lot about pick and place machines and there are so many different kinds s

Hi, I have experience with both Fuji and MYDATA, and while I am so incredibly happy with the Fuji, and Fuji Flexa is a good programming tool, MYDATA machines are not that hard to program at all, and the visual interface where you can move around the

Small waves are fine, biggest problem is the little to no preheat length. This is reason that complex boards cannot be soldered without defects. They also do not handle thick PCBas very well either because of same issue. Most of these "benchtops"

Hi all, Thanks for the replies so far. To make things clearer. BGA is 35mm square. Leading edge of BGA hits 217 and then trailing edge hits 217 5 seconds later. So leading edge is reflowing when the trailing end is not. Coming out of the reflow

As unlikely that this may be, if the RF circuit is sensitive enough, and the minor change in alloy is the only thing that changed, this MAY be the cause. The circuit was probably tuned to Sn63/Pb37. The reason I'm not surprised? I once had a custo

Can someone point us in the right direction? We are trying to find a formula to determine the "cubic mils" of solder we end up with after reflow. (No components during the reflow) Some of the discussions we've had about it produced the thoughts bel

To answer your question: During my experience with Topaz machines, we had to replace 4 Heads on different occassions with different operators involved. Also I encountered several Head crashes with Eclipse machines. To buy such replacements here in Ma

I looked at the Kiss104 and the SPA-400 at the SMTA show in Orlando. I spent an hour with the ACE rep, and walked away totally confused as to how the machine is programmed. I spent 10 minutes with the rep from APS Novastar, and using their Photoscan
