I think you may be assuming that our operators aren't already doing that. We need to be able to bypass the interlocks... how do you think our operators make line adjustments? Step the machine, drop the tooling, and eyeball it. That's it. The operator

Hi, I would immediately go out and purchase a profiler as you will save the cost of it on rework savings. We use a SlimKIC, and the software with it's so good it will let you adjust the oven temps to make your profile fit your paste specifications

The hasl joint looks fuller (and is easier to inspect)because it has more solder volume. Think about it. Your pre-plating your board with solder (before you add more solder). I doubt your getting 0.3 mils of hasl.....probably more like 1.3 to 3.0

We process a double-side reflow board (10 ups). Chips and IC's on the bottom side while chips, IC's plus thru-hole connectors and IC sockets on top side (bottom side first then top side reflow). In the past, we were not encountering any soldering pro

You can continue repair and rework with tin/lead solder until 7/06. However!!! Any product still on the shelves overseas after 7/06 will be returned to the USA. Thought? Maybe start repairing with SAC305 now? Also SAC is Tin, Silver and Copper. No Ni

If followed, would the following strategy meet the requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033A; All MSD components are either exposed for less than 1/2 an hour or final reflowed within 12 hours of opening. What I mean by exposed is any time the parts are n

I have owned an Agilent SJ-10 and currently a YesTech machine. I dont know about any other manufacturers but I can tell you Agilents support left a lot to be desired. I dont know if it is the people or the company but I have major issues with the w

Thanks for your replies, to go a little deeper..... The sample run I chose was a very small run.... 3 PCB's, 340 parts in total required for the 3 boards. Machine mischuck info gave a total of 360 parts used, 20 lost to various reasons, recognition/
