With regards to the rework, size and mass of the PCBs is important, in addition to the size of the components that are to be reworked. You might be in the game with $6K (APE Chipmaster Hot Air machine with Preheater or similar setup) if you have sma

Davef is right on as usual. We are doing exactly what you do. Some smt with no clean paste then the plate through connectors on our selective solder machine using water soluble flux. We then clean with a ultrasonic water process. We do see the re

We are using Humiseal 1B31 and polyester dots for masking. We are spraying this in a Binks sprayer mixed at almost 1:1 with 521 thinner. Whe are seeing the coating creating thin halos around the poly dots as if the dots are "rejecting" the coating. T

Hi, I think concept of inspection through AOI is changing. I am struck in confusion.Because some manufacturer say 3D inspection, with 1+4 cameras is ultimate solution. Orbotech also came with 13 cameras at once!Now some say, all these are eyewashing

Manjunath, I prefer orthogonal systems. In my experience they are actually better at detecting coplanarity and HIP defects than multi camera systems. They are obviously limited, in that they can not inspect a component under another component, b

Been a while since I used those machines but I found a list on how it was on ours anyway: MV2-F,C: F8-F1-F7-SHIFT-M-V MPA-V: F8-F1-F7-SHIFT-M-P-SHIFT-A-SHIFT-V MPA-G1: F8-F4-F7-SHIFT-M-F7-P-F7-SHIFT-A-F7 Always start from the main "run" screen. Go

I have a Zevatech 720 that was working great until one day a "E9001 the emergency stop button has been pressed..." error popped up when I turned the machine on. We traced out the circuit and found out what board it went to. I found a replacement an

As far as I know, the limitations apply to to the manufacturing components, not the equipment per say. At this point there is no set date for the US at the national level. Basically our government is run by big businesses and their effect on our na
