Hey all, I have 3 questions about reflow. Hopefully someone can help me. 1. I am having a problem. I set the peak at 230 and my mole thermocouples are telling me the temp in that zone gets to 237. How is this possible even if the thermocouple

saturation occurs at ppm levels. Remember, IPA is extremely flammable and its bulk use makes the plant liable to all sorts of quite repressive safety rules/regulations and so on. Ignoring these rules exposes the owner to fines and possible plant cl

Are you doing actual measurements of the dummy parts placements? or are you just doing a visual go/no go check? If doing actual measurements, be sure to use mil inch units of measure rather than mm. Mil will give you more accurate readings. mm force

Why do you think that assembling the BGA, QFP, and fine pitch parts will solve your bridging problem? I would think doing this may cause you more grief by having these more massive components being reflowed upside down fall off during the second pas

Both FormFlex and Grid-lok tooling systems are marketed as compliant tooling systems. Both are able to conform to the variations of the topography on the bottomside of a substrate to provide full support during printing of 2nd side assembly. The ba

If you were successful in running the machine in dry cycle mode, then I would expect with new squeegees that the prints would be acceptable. To give you more tangible data on what you may expect from the actual print results, maybe you could run the

Also, check the website for Assembly magazine, http://www.assemblymag.com, they have some good information on the basics of torque. Determining the "correct" torque value can become very complicated very quickly. The same size screws made from differ

Yes!!! How can we assemble boards with 20 pitch when we allow 0.008� error to the master art? Excellent question!!! IPC-D-300G has nothing to do with assembler requirements. It is written by and for fabricators, so that they can be comfortable.
