"1/2 of the paste volume is lost from the flux and carriers being removed during the reflow." Don't forget the intersticial space between your solder spheres that you lose during reflow. Not being of an engineering background I couldn't begin to a

Hola, here is a question that may be answered by common sense, but I'd like to hear from you; I have a couple of SMT lines, and I'm constantly changing from leaded to lead-free process and backwards, so, I cannot dedicate one line for leaded and ano

Yikes! Sounds like a hairy situation there. I've successfully collapsed a Pb-Free BGA (using a Sn/Pb solder paste), with a peak temperature of 220 Deg. C and Time Above SAC's Eutetic point (217) of 17 seconds. Beware of overcooking your smaller ma

I have done this in a past life. In my mind this is a step backwards. If all of your parts are placed by hand it will work.You will need to cut at the top of the solder to keep the leads form bending If any parts are auto inserted you will need to c

Wow, a lot of questions here...and you are definitely doing some "tough sledding". To the point. If you have 3 - 22" zones you'll have to calc your belt speed and temperatures to match the solder paste requirements with regard to flux activation an

I'm guessing when you say bare board you mean wet paste only? When you say the pads move slightly are your boards warped at all at the Vscore? What we do is use per modual fids. first you delete or don't make panel fids and then theres a option wh

Mike, It sounds like you have a serious problem, I don't know much about drag soldering or what your specific soldering problem is with your present supplier. I do know that with a conventional solder machine these leads won't even make it through
