From my past experience, you can usually get away with OUT the chip wave if your SMD's are no smaller that 0805, and more importantly, there are no SOT23's. A nice, clean, inerted laminar wave (with a little smart or omega help) will solder your S

I currently have issues with "slivers" of solder on or behind QFP devices. This has only occured on PB Free boards (we currently produce PB and PB Free on same equipment). This is not tin slivers, this is a long thin sliver of solder measuring up to

Jim, Another good resource would be Asymtek (www.asymtek.com) I have had a lot of luck with their dispense equipment for underfilling applications. They have run tests in the past using various methods for our company to determine what type of epoxy

I have the entire computer box assembly from a 1306/40 series machine. This was one of the first with the AC servo motors and digital drives. It was taken from a working CSM66 at the same time as I bought a CSM84. It was included to be used as spa

Thanks Jon, my one is equipped with DC servo, too. It is PA130300, the oldest CSM66. Your MCX-2 computer may be useful in the future if you buy a newer CSM. I would like to buy another one as a secondary, wishing a same type, but it seems impossible

The CSM84 I have is 63" (1600 mm) wide, 57" (1450 mm) deep, and 54" (1372 mm) high, without the turret. The CSM84 is rated at something like 1600 Lbs (728 kg). I had to cut a hole and install double doors to get mine in. I can't imagine "carrying" t

We have been producing an IMS assembly with SMT dpak's for some time. However, we recently encountered a new problem by chance - the parts can be flicked off with a finger nail. I state by chance because the solder joints are wetted and shiny with

The proper method is to load a flat plate into the X-Y-Z table. The plate size should be as large as the largest board you run. Indicate the entire area of the plate with a dial indicator. I don't remember the exact spec, but try to stay within .2mm.

We seem to have an overwhelming amount of foam produced in the initial rinse portion of our wash (enough to cause it to overflow). We are using an Austin American Hydrojet Mach III Inline Cleaner. To my understanding the first rinse of the boards is
