Preheating is critical in Vapor Phase Soldering. One trick that is done is to use the "soft vapor" area just above the soldering vapor, some machines can pause just before going into the soldering vapor. Using that pause above the vapor to continue

Hello all, I was wondering who out there has an F1 or F1-5 system used at post-paste. If so, what type of auto-insertion equipment are you using on that line and what is the cph placement capability. Does your F1 system keep up with the cycle time

Hi, After you got datasheets of component shapes (only new one) and enter it to SMT machine library (including Polarity Mark and Position), you can use our software to simulate and fix all angles. Also, our software has tools to add Polarity informa

We are using some Hover Davis POD 600 at our site for label-placement. Since the feeder is no longer produced by hover davis , it`s always harder to get spares for those label-feeders. The supplier for this feeder-type in europe was pb-tec in germany

Usually the reason it will fail a part like that when you are using mechanical centering is because the part is usually picked so off center because of the body shape. So when the centering jaws close to push the part to center they give up and fail

Using ERSA Ecoselect. I am curiuos to hear from other selective solder users as to what is the ideal lead lenght for your application on thru hole components. Shorter leads have helped us decrease solder bridges. We find ours to be from .75 mm to 1

I am not sure what the IPC spec is suggesting....K type thermocouples are normally specified upto 1250 C, of course there is a tolerance in their accuracy and this probably degrades after hundreds of uses through a reflow oven, but normally the accur

I don't know. What does your paste supplier say? You can run tests * That you used to qualify this paste in the first place. * According to IPC J-STD-005A Requirements for Soldering Pastes * Using your toughest stencil to print this paste on a bare c
