Stay far away from the WS619 paste. It is a nightmare to get a decent solder joint out of it. And dont get me started on voiding issues with this paste. We eventually started to use Indium 3.2 lead free "water wash" paste and this drastically reduced

Much thanks again for the replies. Does anyone have any experience with UIC GSM1 machines & feeders & overall programming & use therein? I've come across a couple of these that are in the same price range. I seem to remember UIC having a decent rep

Dont Peace Out... You do offer valuble info. Most people on here do. I have learned a decent amount of info off of old timers and people with experience. Maybe it was removed by accident or perhaps you released a "Trade Secret" the mediators dont

Is this a manual measurement machine? As already stated, knowing the height of the pad underneath the paste brick is critical to knowing the true height an/or volume of paste. Any decent automated inspection system will have a way to factor out the p

Hi, from all companies I know that Europlacer makes machine for huge PCB. The model I think is called "iineo" and I think can handle boards up to 60". I saw that machine 5 years ago on Exhibition in Munich. The company is English/French and from wha

Just wondering why you need to scuff the surface at all, as a decent glue should take to the PCB material anyway. However, it may be a customer requirement, so you have to do it. Have you thought about getting the PCB's made with a rough surface wh

I had some of these before and they do a decent job. Laser alignment is ok for passive components. Compared to vision systems it has mainly disadvantages. If you have bended lead on IC for example, it wouldn;t catch it and it will place the part. I w

No, it isn't. Last year I paid mid fifties for a brand new 8 zone BTU. Air only, belt and rails, not a lot of bells and whistles. There isn't a ton to a reflow oven and the chinese ones have gotten pretty decent, which pushes the price down for eve

Stay away from Chinese machines. Even if they aren't junk, you'll have a hell of a time getting support. Your best bet is to stick with used equipment from reputable brands with a foot print in your area. Universal, Juki, mydata, are all decent choi

Thank you rtmitchell, being unfamiliar with the system, I missed that the end is slightly nicked. I pulled a dog out of a machine that has been cannibalized, I verified that it was straight and not nicked, and installed it in our production line mach
