I used a CamAlot 5000 to apply conductive epoxy on an aluminum substrate about 4 years ago. I used the largest diameter nozzle CamAlot had, and I bumped the dispense and dwell times way up. It was the slowest stage in the process, but it worked out o

Christopher, Is it possible to get some more info like type of no-clean flux you use and process parameters topside temp of board before entering the wave and dwell time in the wave. Patrick Interflux USA, Inc.

Ah, yes...the solvents. I'll bet with SS machines vs. WS machines there is way less dwell time at preheat so you don't evap enough solvents. Do any of these SS machines use force-convection preheats or are they and IR type?

If you really want to monitor manual soldering.....Dwell time, heat tip,........ Contact ACI as they have a process tool the goes inline with you soldering iron for real time SPC data. Contact Jeff Staong at aci 610-362-1200 x 224 or jstong@aciusa.o

ACI (www.aciusa.org) Does have a real time SPC interface for soldering Irons. MSM product. Provides you with soldering temp, dwell time and other useful info. This is key if needed to track process closely Cal

You also would want to talk with your flux supplier. They are usually knowledgeable in the proper application of and heating of their fluxes. Usually, insufficient solder in a wave process is related to insufficient preheat,dwell time, and flux app

Il ne pas de quois. Two most important parameters are: * Solder temperature * Dwell time Immersion depth [1/3 to 2/3 of board thickness] has the least impact of any variable in wave soldering.

Oh I forgot...is this product wave soldered? Opens can occur if your wave preheat and dwell are not controlled. I ran into this years ago....wild situation. Good luck

Has anyone ever seen a bulbous joint (on 1 side of 1 designator) on every board? I checked the preheat profile at the wave and have played with dwell times but can't get rid of it. I checked the archives and didn't find much. Any help would be apprec

Hello, Assuming that your dwell and coverage at the wave are in order..... Have you checked the angle and pressure of your fluxer air knife? You can only count on capilary action to a point. The air knife, set correctly, will help get your flux t
