This looks like it may be a good application for an Air-Vac or Wenesco type solder station. It is a solder pot that has a small motor to pump solder up through a chimney. You can put different nozzles on the top of the chimney, so you only apply sold

Sounds like air pressure is set O.K. The next thing to check is that the platen surface that the x and y axis ride on is perfectly clean. After that, you should knock the camera off the platen and make sure that all of the small air nozzles are blo

Hi Dave, I am not a sales person pushing my wares here, just my engineering experiences - so I hope I am not out of line here on this forum anymore. When it comes to selective or spot soldering - it all depends on your board design. Many people al

By Hot Air Knife I assume (leave it alone Dave F.) that you mean a debridging knife located at the exit end of a wave solder machine. Russ is right, they are not a good substitute for a good process, but once the process (w/o HAK) is developed, it

You appear to have two problems working against you at once. One is component lead corrosion that the no clean flux isn't aggressive enough to remove. Do a simple dip and look test. Flux the leads of a component and dip it into the molten solder for

I now have the opportunity to work on the MVII's. And I have some questions Do the PCB's have to have tooling holes for the transport of Boards in and out of the machine? These machines are running like S___t. Lots of parts in the reject bin, and s
