I'm working on a regular base with Advantis. There's nothing special regarding maintenance with the machine itself, only standard greasing & cleaning each 3-4 months. An hour or two maximum. If you have lightning head on it, it's maintenance free. I

Hi, I've been looking into UV cureable conformal coating and the UV ovens but a chemist I know is very negative about this. He suggest by heating standard conformal coating to 90deg for a couple of minutes will make the product good enough to handle

Hi davef, couple of questions: clarifying costing of direct labor against overhead cost: an operator loading PCB onto the reflow oven is a direct cost, how about the reflow process time of the PCB while travelling inside the reflow, is that an ove

Ugh, there are more reasons that immersion silver [IAg] to go yellowish than pigs at the county fair. That aside, sulphur is one of the reasons, as you say. The sulphur can be from a variety of sources, such as: * Pollution in the air * Ill advised p
