Thank you all very much for the responses. The solder is eutectic and the problem, as far as I can tell, has been around before I was here, 2+ years. The flow machine is a treiber with 2 bottom preheaters and 1 top. The solder pot temp is 500F +/-4F

I place 15-20 mil a lot. You need to look at your pad to apature reduction. Your stencil thickness. The type of paste your using. We use 2-5 mil reduction on each side as a general rule on fine pitch. This varies depending on pad width. We also use 5

"The only real problem we're seeing is some suppliers trying to use bismuth. That's a big no-no in a SnPb process and we won't accept those parts." Yes and no. Since the SnPbBi tertiary alloy melts at 96 degC, any product rated for storage above tha

Siemens is the General Electric of Europe. Like GE, Siemens typically is in the top 3 positions ($ market share and profit) or they exit the business. In total revenue I expect Siemens to be in the top 2-3 globally. In units I expect Yamaha has the

Hi, Sounds like your engineer does not know what he's doing. We have developed and built hundreds of thousands of boards with normal square pads for 0402, and we just use a 5 thou stencil with 5% reduction and it works well. Decoupling? What is tha

1.- Check your vacuum a.- Check filters b.- Check air flow (the vacuum is generated by a Ventury using air flow, not air pressure) c.- Vaccum vias (Possible linth inside the vacuum lines) 2.- Check the nozzle condition (Probably broken o

Hi Recently I have been set the task of increasing the amount of time our pick and place machines (Mirae MPS-1025P) are running for. I am fairly new to CEM and have found that the main reason the machines are offline for so long is that the operator

You need to look at what other smaller companies are using, the KY machines usually go in multiples into large installations. I've seen a few places with 1 or 2 machines but they are usually running volume of very few board types. In these environm

As we navigate through the CORVID-19 pandemic, many essential manufacturing facilities are still on line and operating. Some at reduced or modified schedules in following the guidelines to help reduce the spread of this virus. My question is in rega
