I have a rarely used Wenesco that's about 4 years old that I would be willing to get rid of. Its filled with lead free solder. We just bought a full size automatic selective solder machine which arrives next month, so we'll go from using it once in

Theres something to be said for having a machine operator or inspection person carry the board from the output to the oven. Id say about 1/2 of our issues are fixed/noticed in this simple step of transferring the board from the PNP to the oven. If

At incoming inspection we visually check the stencil against the gerber file (called up on the computer monitor) used to produce it. This is mostly to check that they mirrored the bottom side correctly although we check the top side as well. That i
