Validating Oven Thermal Profiles

Electronics Forum | Fri Aug 15 10:23:56 EDT 2008 | ck_the_flip

Ovens, and any other process for that matter, will ALWAYS vary. It's called process variation. I do Cpk (process capability) on my ovens. I track time-above-liquidus and peak temperatures. Statistics will validate how repeatable your oven is.

Would YOU accept this PCB ???

Nothing really... I guess my dry sense of humor doesn't translate very well through the forum... When you said MOSTLY that would seem to mean that you are more than 50% chinese, which I guess is possible. Sorry for not being funny. I will make sure

Chunks... You are pretty damn awesome! Anyways, in regards to the original thread, we do get good boards from china as well, but we have had issues with stack-up tolerances and even mouse bite (drilled break away) tabs. Not to long ago, we left t

Paste in hole question

We do it all the time for air pressure reasons. Use a 6 mil stencil, print right on the via, aperture opening 100% same size as the via, on an 0.063" thick board. Doesn't leave a bulge and plugs the air. You can have your board house do this for y

Paste in hole question

Volume of paste = 2X volume of the hole Questions are: * Why does your customer want the hole filled with solder? * Would materials other than solder be acceptable? * We assume 0.020" is drill size. What is the finished size of the hole? * What is t

So, what do you do if they dont get fixed in a month? do you break down and take a bath anyways or do you keep going? Who does it hurt that you dont take a bath, I mean, seriously???? Is Putin gonna be like, "Whoa dude, I am so sorry. Just take a

Block repeat and fiducial relation

Electronics Forum | Thu Aug 21 19:18:47 EDT 2008 | duchoang

My steps are different in that case: 1- Check mounts. Try to adjust origin point until get the pretty good mount positions. 2- Teach fiducials ( Board fids, not panel fids) 3- Use fids, check mount again. 4- If OK, then teach Block Repeat. This alwas
