MKS, You do not need to reach a temp of 245C to form a joint and surely not for 0603s. Since you are using such a high temp your flux is getting dried out.. Also if you are going to reach a peak of 245C on a brd that has Sn/Pb compt and Pb-free.. yo

It's the opinion of someone who makes a living dealing with issues such as service, support, equipment longevity on all platforms and has been doing this for over 20 years. This includes extensive travel to Korea and Asia in general to gather first h

China, with its manufacturing prowess can hardly be considered poor or third world anymore. Plus "poor" or "third world" is a mind set that needs to be overcome more than anything else. as a FYI, there are special "third world editions" of most boo

We have 2 Mirtec machines. The learning curve is steep, but once you get over that the machine is very valuable. I must disagree with the commenter who said the support is poor. While the answers we rcvd differed from person to person at first, Mirte

Hi Liza, We tend to see it on the larger plastic tape sizes & lower volume parts - such as smd connectors, fine pitch reeled IC's, BGA's etc. We don't tend to get it on high vol parts such as logic, 8 & 16bit micros, v-regs etc. Could this be du

Rob, Thanks for the feedback,we've been running Mydata since 95' and within those 10 years I think we might have seen enough from them. Granted our machine is still in tip top shape we just plan to get something a little more faster and cheaper. Myda
