Hello Reese, I had an opportunity to look at the Yestech B3, Mirtec MV-3 and the Landrex Optima. Although I was looking at Desktop AOI Systems, Landrex was very persistent in getting an in line system in front of me at the time. The first machine I

We use SAC387 (or 96SC) and I found that the SelectX was only marginally effective and that other factors (varying the wave height mainly - we use pallets) affected bridging more. Also, because we run different products at the same time through the

Is there a limit to how many times a pcb with components can be run through a reflow oven before the components start to degrade? Example: We load the SMT components on the bottom side of the pcb and run it through the reflow oven. Next we load the

Your customer is very unreasonable to demand void-free BGA SJs. Minor voiding is not a condition for rejection per IPC-A-610D, J-STD-001D, or even J-STD-001DS (Space addendum). Having said that, let me tell you that the voiding has little or nothing

Hello Sibbe, Thank you for posting your questions. There are a few approaches to AOI with the majority being program driven. There are a couple of systems that are simply comparative in that you use the system to compare a golden board to others th

Chris, There are a lot of potential causes for voids. I'll list a few below: a.) cleanliness (or lack there of) b.) Via in pad where said vias are not filled c.) reflow profile design d.) incompatible materials My knee jerk reaction would be to che
