Air is non-conductive, and it is moving. Not only is it moving, it is moving against something else i.e. the hose. Anytime you have movement (friction) between two dissimilar non-conductive "things" you have the possibility of static build-up. This

Without being clear on whether you're talking about: * Standard air knives at the back-end of your in-line cleaner ... OR * Hand held or similar nozzle. Standard air knives: This causes no problem with ESD because the relative humidity is so high t

I can't answer your specific question on the floor, but I have some suggestions. The equipment manufacturer should be able to provide the floor loading requirements. A structural engineer should be able to translate that into specs for hte constructi

I have a wave machine (offshore made) with internal spray fluxer configured with a conventional spray gun set up. In order to spray fluid (in this case, flux) I must set the air pressure at 0.3 mPA (43 PSI). At that pressure, my flux sprayer creates

I think you are right. According to IPC-7526 section 6.2 says that using compressed air to blow out paste will damage the stencil, especially between fine pitch apertures. It can also broadcast solder paste onto other surfaces or personnel. I recomm

Jim, Thank you for the input. Could you please check your standard filter pore size? A model number would be valuable. How many shop volumes (in cubic meters) do you pump per hour? Customer is seriously thinking over installing AC system similar to

PS, we had a similar situation when a quick disconnect on the flux supply went bad, limiting flow. Take the nozzle off and turn the fluxer on, you should get a lot of flux flow, If not, the lines are probably clogged.

May need to change nozzles for this waterbased flux. Seems quite high to me as well Russ

Definitely too much pressure for any fluxer I've seen. Something must be restricting the flow. Maybe the nozzle.

It would depend on the solder paste but the stuff we use is heavy enough that it wont go airborne. and theres really no other way to clean the apertures on a 0402 or similar part.
