Dave You are so right about that point. I still use some cost models we ran up some 5 years ago. I took one to a customer and showed them that they could make $400K more PROFIT PER YEAR running OA v No-Clean. Their response? Well, we don't believe

I also have a spreadsheet tool for comparative analysis using criterion weighted scoring. It can be used to analyze any decision, and helps groups reach consensus on why a particular alternative is the way to go. As final steps you can also consider

Graham STOP!!! You can not be totally serious. A five year old cost model counts bean, and beans are beans. I have to know more about the calculation. If this bores some of your gear-heads, click on "return." � Help me with the terms: - "Ops cos

We use the exact same method Chunks outlined for evaluating just about anything we're going to roll out worldwide, whether it's a material or a machine. List your factors (print speed, solder spread, etc), assign each a weight, evaluate each paste a

Dear Ing, Have you analyzed why some RF device aren't operational after washing? An assumption is that failures are related to the ultrasonic energy applied. Other possibilities are for poor rinsing, poor drying, inadequate washing on those failed

Your best bet is to do a decision making matrix. Each company has so many different criteria�s it's hard to pick out which one might be important to yours. Simply pick out your top 5 paste manufactures. Next decide what your "Eliminators" are - th

I'd love to get to the point that I could discuss the impact of flux on dross formation. Until then, I fight with proper solder pot temperature, maintaining enough pump speed, and solder contaminants.

broad answer. There's tons of suppliers. Go to "Circuit Assembly" magazine web site and look-up flux suppliers in the "Buyers Guide." Broad line suppliers are Kester, Alpha ... They will make you answer: I'm joining bla, bla, bla metals, using b

Mohammed, The first suggested place to start with your question would probably be with your flux Mfr. Push them! The quantity of dross is effected by several factors: The higher your solder pot temp., the higher your dross level... but don't go too

Where to find detailed information on fluxes? No one seems to know the real difference between Rosin fluxes with colophan, Resin fluxes or synthetic Resin fluxes, No Clean, Low Residues, VOC-Free, Halide-Free, Water Washable with alcohol base, Resin-
