Thomas: Wheeee, a 40% failure rate. Now, that make your boss chase you around the room won�t it? As you indicated, x-ray won�t do dip about helping to identifying problems [or ball cracks either]. Consider using an ERSA scope [er whatever they ca

Sal, Silly question: Were the parts skewed before they went into the oven? I've chased down a few similar reflow problems in my lifetime, only to find out it was a pick and place problem. Wrong nozzle size, bad nozzle, feeder not advancing all

I have two DEK 288s set up in our shop, we used to use a Fuji GSP_III. I could not possibly say enough good things about the DEKs - they are incredible. The only real complaint I have with them is that if an error pops up that locks up the software -

Hey dragonslayr Just a follow up comment from your comments that you fail to see the significance to the value of the assembly. My point was that if the board is worth say 100.00 cost and you built 100 per day and 2 per day require manually rework

call me picky but doesn't hydrogen combust? maybe soemthing you could do is look at your process and your products and decide if you actually need to run in N2. Yes ok I can hear the crys now but seriously, for the vast majority of things if you have
