Thanks 'hege for the info. Have you seen a reduction in solder defects after switching from Air Reflow to N2 Reflow? I'm curious, because in my experience of over 20 years, working at five different companies, (Jabil being one of them), I've never u

Yes, car rims (and brass tubas)! You finally helped me get to the bottom of this expensive issue. We fired the culprit. It's the same guy that was using the ultrasonic stencil washer to clean car parts on night shift. It might be snake oil, I don

Why isn't the data that is collected being used? Either use the data or stop taking it. Without AOI to improve your process you need to do this: 1. Collect data on all defects found by your inspection department and have it in a form such as a sprea

Keep in mind that you may need to assure that there are no pure tin finishes remaining on your parts. A general idea is that parts with pure tin (RoHs) finish will need to be plated with tin-lead solder to avoid the possibility of tin whiskers formi

Hello All, We have a problem with dewetting of solder paste. Problem is most visible on the pads without components (see attached pictures) and occurs randomly, 20% of PCB's. Pcb supplier sent us a cross-section of pads with thickness of Cu, Ni and

Head and Pillow defects beneath a BGA are difficult to find, no matter what the equipment is on hand. Since you do not appear to have access to tools that would help you, or $$ to purchase said tools, I might recommend that you use an outside source

If you're using the Kapton tape to protect the gold fingers from solder splatter, my first instinct is to say,yes, you do need it. I've had the pleasure of paying to have gold fingers reworked in the past. It is not in-expensive; certainly not equa

Dear Rob, Thank you for your quick response! There were Z locks on the Midas head area, 2 little solenoids like you mentioned. Previously I had the first error code (F-AXIS-C/9) and after fiddling around, randomly manual unlock the Z locks it came

Hello Len. Thanks for the update, I wouldn't say we are getting the hang of it but we are progressing, I now have a vision programming guide which isn't much help when parts are failing, it just states the obvious, set up sizes etc. The light that y

There are several way to tech this. I used this machines some time ago and maybe I am rusty, but you can try two ways that I can think of: -use IC package with 4 leads from one side and 1 big from the other. You can play here a lot, for example you c
