Good day! Anybody have tried using the Tornado Infra Station as a rework station. There official site is http://www.tornadoinfra.com. This is a handheld rework station that is much cheaper, also using infrared technology on the heating elements and

Already spoke with Novastar, and they only offer replacement parts for the preheating elements and fingers for this model, which was discontinued in 1997. Thanks though for your reply.

We saw this one time when we were trying to develop some lead-free product. It ended up being copper migration. Some of the pads had a brown discoloration and those that did would not wet very well. Your elemental analysis would have shown if ther

Elemental is by SEM/EDX. The brown coloration does resemble the 3 micron photo. Again, if I'm picking up copper (our Ag plating thickness requirements are 0.05 micron to 0.12 micron following IPC 4553), maybe we do have a porous silver plating.

Anyone, We have a fault on our BTU VIP98 reflow oven. At present NONE of the zones are heating up, even though all the SSR's appear to be working and we have voltage at the elements and the fans are all working. Anyone got any pointers? Thanks in ad

We use precision tweezers to rework 0402 (OKI MFR-PTZ) not tried with 0201, but it may be a solution. The tweezers themselves have the heating element built in.

You can determine empirically what will work. * Use ion chromatography [IPC-TM-650 2.3.28] to evaluate the residues and determine if the residues must be removed. * Use energy dispersive spectroscopy for the elemental analysis or chemical characteriz

Hi everyone, Our FA team recieved the defect unit from our customer, and the issue is GF discoloration. EDX was conducted and Na element was detected on the discolored area. We're currently working with the customer to determine the rootcause. Pleas

We have a Westek washer that we can not get the temperture to get hot enough to wash. We are thinking there is a problem with the heating elements, but we are not sure. Our ME is out for training today. If anyone has worked with these machines plea
