Thank you ChrisW. I agree completely. The decision to idle the temperature or turn the wave off is primarily a function of machine utilization. Period. The utilization % break even point for idle vs. turning the heat off is calculated by comparing th

There are several big competitors out in the field. Since a few years 3D AOI is getting more and more populair. The reliability is much higher compared to comparing grey scales (pixels) with one another. Measuring the height, length and width of a co

Hi All, Appreciate any inputs that may be given. Currently i am operating VP6000 Vapour Phase Reflow Oven from ASSCON. Over the last 2 years, we have around 100 different Recipes for many different PCBs. Each recipe is adjusted(6 Different Paramete

Although the following is not true capability machine assesment I feel that monioring the process at screen print, placement, reflow and wave gives results for both design and process guys to asses thire process. The project has been running since Ma

Hi John, we had one shot with silver coated PCBs. With "no clean" and no changes in process parameters ( we had no input on necessary changes from the boardhouse ) we encountered wetting problems in the first reflow soldering process. Later it was s

We have evaluated 4 different AOI machines and the General Scanning 8200 machine was the best. Great G R&R. As far as paste height goes, it is very paste dependant. I recently completed a DOE comparing laser stencils to EFab, varying 0.5 mm pitche

I need to know the advantages or disavantages of a plastic or FR4/Flex based BGA over the ceramic based BGA. We have a BGA package we are going to have produced. Some want to have it made out of ceramic because they feel a ceramic package will be a

I have a question for N2 reflow, I want to know how difference of the O2 PPM in reflow oven then get the result? Now, we use the N2 to purge into BTU oven and measure the O2 PPM is about 1,000. but cannot find the difference to compare to compress ai

NJEV- You can contact me off line for my opinion on the Easi line :caldon@smtnet.com. Compared to past products this one was weak. Missing parts, Screws sticking out, the thermo-sensor was right next to the button so the longer you held the button th

Darren, You may/will get people referring you to the archives, which is a fair shout. But, by "failure rate" you probably mean "acceptance". What is good and bad depends upon your own acceptance criteria (IPC-610 ?). Find out what the acceptance c
