We just ran a study to try to determine this. We exposed the paste to 85% humidity to simulate worst case manufacturing. At various times we removed the paste from the chamber and tested it for tack, solder balling, wetting (copper coupon), and vis

Not exactly sure what your specific requirements are but I am in the process of clearing out a major OEM's SMT facility. Lots and lots of general production equipment is available such as stencil carts, production benches (with and without lights and

Here is how the FormFlex system conforms to component variations. The FormFlex system utilizes an oil chamber that is common to ALL the pins once the system is set. Pushing down one pin will cause the displaced oil to be shared by all the others pins

Steve, If you can get me your snail-mail address, I will send you some latest information. We actually have a totally new system called Delta 5. It is Condensation Soldering rather than Vapour phase, the difference being that we solder in an air ti

We are anticipating switching from RMA to OA flux for both reflow and wavesolder in the next few months. If you use a batch cleaner running DI water only I would like to hear your experiences. How is it for cleaning under low standoff components li

Does anybody have any reliable alternatives to device bake out for plastic bodied components. We do not use a whole package at time and therefore have to oven bake the balance before we can use them. I have come accross dry nitrogen storage chambers

Dave, The saponifier (or any additive) will supply free ions and contaminate the DI water. If no contamination is introduced (very difficult) or if fresh hot DI water is constantly added as in a steam age chamber, the DI water will begin to obtain

Dan: Until I got deep into development of a vacuum assisted moisture removal process, I always thought that the bake process would be saddled by the lack of atmosphere in the chamber. I later learned that the conduction of temperature at reduced atm
