Hello Everyone, I am assemblying a special Panel PCB, dimensions 330 x 250 mm with 8 single PCBs in it. After SMD reflow oven, the panel is bending and this is impacting in the next process - solder machine. some areas on the PCB aren't touched by t

I am looking for a faster way to trim component leads after wave solder. We now cut by hand, we have a Q-cuter but stoped using it the blades dulled quickly and left flags. we just got a cut and clinch locator and hope this will solve some of are pro

I assume you are running Lead paste and that is why your parts are moving during reflow. Most probably these caps have leads that are bended in random directions(look at some parts from the bottom and observe how symmetrical the leads are). In additi

Casimir: A comment and a couple questions: * Have you considered a machine that forms component leads to "self-clinch?" With this forming components snap into hole in the boards with the proper finished lead length and requires not trimming after

Hi all We recently have a problem with component in package 0805 (capasitor 100nF). I have noticed that after reflow soldering only one lead of the component is soldered. The second one is just laying on the PCB land. We use screen printing process

Casimir, The Q and other lead trimmers work extremely well if properly used. Blade life is directly proportional to to the height of the cut. There are a few factors that are very important in trimming. You are working with a solid carbide blade whi

Yes l know this problem keeps cropping up on the forum but l've missed some of the follow-ups. Our problem is that the lifting only occurs on 3% of production so actually detecting an improvement is difficult. We're actually having to inspect 144 p
