With oven temps rising due to Lead-Free Processing, I'm looking for some information on high temp Reflow Oven lubricants. I've found some info in the Fine SMTnet Archives on Chain Lubricants, (Mostly Synthetic Motor Oils), but I'm wondering what othe

Good morning, I can recommend to use solder paste softeners, which can prepare solder paste for printing process. Softeners rise paste temperature by means of pseudo-planetary motion. Therefore, solder paste reaches room temperature during only 15

Hi McGill, The straight ramp is "straight" from the manufacturers of the material. Using old process techniques from your old process materials no longer applies. We all miss the good old days, but it�s time to move on. Being of Asian descent, I t

Hi, We have seen a slight rise in failures in a product, and on investigation, the BGA ball has cracked off the PCB. It's below the intermetalic layer in the ball. Reflow otherwise looks good, and the raw components are clean. I am wondering what c

Hi pr, The problem was happening on all three of the nozzles that we were using, about half the time the Z axis would rise up and go for the next nozzle and the other half it would stop almost as soon as it released the nozzle. When I inch the Z ax

*Preheat zone *Maximum slope is a time/temperature relationship that measures how fast the temperature on the printed circuit board changes. The ramp�up rate is usually somewhere between 1.0 �C and 3.0 �C per second, often falling between 2.0 �C and

Hi, Our Fuji CP6 table is rising up abruptly when it unloads a pcb after populating it. It makes a clunking noise much louder than before. I don't see anything that has changed or gets in the way as far as the table rails lining up with the exit c

No, but we find discussions about relative humidity fairly short sighted, because relative humidity is such an imperfect measure of the amount of moisure in the air. Dew point is much more appealing. R.H. = (amount of moisture)/(maximum amount that

I have noticed this on some of our large multi-circuit panels. It's such a slight rise in our false call rate that I haven't really explored it. I'm just guessing that it has something to do with the fiducials calculating the twist/shrink of the boar
