Is the BLUE area the only place where parts are located? That is a very interesting concept. Why do they NEED to be flattened? Do they ship flattened, or are they installed flat? I assume that the use of flex is because the actual application re

Gridlok is good but it will also depends on your board. Board that is warpped and thick will not be flatten by gridlok as the concept for this support system is to conform to the shape of the underside of the board with very minimum upward force from

Keep in mind; if you're building warped or twisted boards, do NOT use the Grid-lok system on them, as they tend to conform to the bend or twist of the underside of the PCB, so it will not flatten or straighten out much at all when it's brought to the

It is a flattening machine used in the application of solid solder deposits. Basically a conveyorized oven with a press at the end. mk

Have you contacted the manufacturer of the socket? They usually have some insight. I have heard of large BGA sockets being warped when they are received and flatten out during reflow. That is crazy to me, but there are people dealing with issues like

So would you side to say that electrolytic capacitors have Flattened coined leads & should follow specs under that classification?

We have a need for expert opinions on a solderability issue. Our company prints and then reflows solder paste with no components in place. It is then washed and flattened with a special flattening machine. Usually, the paste fuses and spreads out

Hi Paul, a planar surface is not what you get after reflow no matter how hard you try to get the best printing results. One thing is to flatten the surface again like the Sipad-technology but I don�t know if and how it�s applicable in your specific c

The ends of the nozzles look flattened. I haven't measured the total length yet to see if it is in tolerance or not. That is for tomorrows "to do" list as well as calling tech support. When I slow the machine speed down and watch what is happening I

Thanks Steve, good point about warped boards, which are common with doube-sided reflow. Centerboard support helps minimize on reflow. We did do modification to the workboard holders to ensure boards are secured. The boards where small enough that war
