Hi Yngwie Have you got a reflow oven yet. If not, forget about complicated profiling with test runs or reflow trackers. We've got a nice oven with integrated temperature-feedback system. You build any profile you want and the oven will adjust its hea

I can't think of any off hand other than the Ersa which is massive and from when I used it a pain in the A*SE to program and keep programmed, you always seem to have to baby sit it. I bet if you asked you could get one, the problem is that forced con

The IPC 610 actally conflict's with 7095 which give's a better indication of what's acceptable. I believe that IPC are reviewing both. Motorola did a bunch of work before basically showing that void's aren't that bad up to a certain size, I think pro

Nick, I've run this flux for a while and it's not too bad. There is a tendancy for there to be residue left on the PCB after wave due to the solid's content but it can be minised by putting some effort into setting up your spray fluxer to an optimum

Thanks for the acvice, Dave and John. Like I stated above, I didn't feel comfortable with changing wave parameters since I knew that we'd be compromising our wave quality. I'll try the peelable mask thing, reprofile, and let you guys know what i fo
