A simple question with very complex answers... But to simplify, you could start at this. Water soluble fluxes are cleaned using (typically) de-ionized water, using a spray wash method. Sometimes a saponifier is added to the water to help it get

I believe there is a lot pertinent information in the thread that Dave forwarded... But (IMHO)I think you can look at two things first. First, is your wave solder process friendly to this large PCB, is there enough pre-heat in the board before it h

Hi Gary. I have the same problem on my Siplace feeders, and have tried different products like you have. This is what I have experienced so far: The "bag sealer" method does not really work well. Problem is that the tape foil type (plastic type) var

Philips (Yamaha) use a non standard NSK Ball screw and nut assembly. You should buy the genuine ball screw from your agent as the series of Ball screws used on these machines are the "NSK Super Precision series" which is not stocked by linear guide s

Hi, We had it for a while, but had to take it out and replace it with normal convection. I mean the soldering quality is absolutely amazing, and the joints looked perfect, however it was a horror for tomb-stoning. We tried all types of stencil apert

I have used Unicam software to create visual workaid documentation along with a setup sheet showing BOM in relation to feeder setups, etc. This was used in 1st piece verification, but also in the early days I had to do a 2 person validation. One and

The SimmScope is an first article inspection system that uses an overhead digital microsope on a motorized gantry to inspect the board - much like an AOI - except that it does not automatically make the pass/fail decisions. It is up to the operator t

I can second the Unisoft Pronto software. We were in the same boat where getting centroid data files to program our AOI system was killing us. The Pronto software takes gerber files and BOMs and marries them into usable centroid data files for AOI

We designed a fairly simple software called PROCAM to do exactly that! It takes 2 Gerber layers - Paste/Mask layer and the Silk layer. Within minutes you can extract all the centroids. PROCAM has a standard excel output with all the centroids, fiduci
