Sure looks like flux residue to me and I don't know how your bare boards could be causing that unless there's something on them when you get them, and that you would notice. I'd still be looking at my own system, blowers and exhaust lines. Do any of

Good Morning, I have seen many posts regarding BGA voiding being excessive and what can be done to better the condition. I have a customer that has an assembly that we have had a diufficult time with. We have spent a lot of time debugging the proces

We are evaluating a low halide Water soldering flux (Aim WS716). Has anyone had good/bad experience with it? Our operator has mentioned strong and irrating smell, even when standing a foot away from the conveyor entry/exit. The fluxer is embedded w

Oooo, thanks for the conversion. Being metrically challenged, az a skratchin ma haid thar fer a mite. We do a G-10 160 thou and have similar issues. Now, we�ve talked about barrel fill [ie, slowing belt speed, increasing pre-heat temps, etc] befor

The key to longevity in any automated soldering machine is in the preventative maintenance. If the machine has had regular maintenance preformed on it, your job will be that much easier. The 1st thing I would do is to either throw out the solder t

George, The Radiator is only used on the older Nitrogen ready type Heller Ovens to attract the flux toward the Flux Filtration system. There should be two blowers in the Cooling zone where the radiator is to be fitted and there should be 4" ducting

Hi!Charlie, 1.Are you retrofitting your spray fluxer in your wave soldering machine? If you are, please ensure that you have a air knife just before the preheater!Fluxe fumes tends to accumulate and that could be dangerous if your air exhaust is not

I only inhale flux with a high IPA content.(joke for those who don't know me) I have seen the inside of duct work for our wave soldering machine............NASTY! DAVE F. is right! Flux contains a lot of bad stuff- Chlorides, Bromides, Fluorides,

Hi SMTnetters, I have a white residue coating all over my reflow oven innards (almost looks like white fungus). How can I absolutely be certain that it’s flux and not anything else?are there any tests available for this? I am planning to check the ov

Hi, One thing you might want to do has to deal with the venting over the top of your spray fluxer. Many times the exhaust comes from the side; instead of directly inline on top of the spray fluxer. This will draw the flux up the thru-hole joints m
