We have been unimpressed with the capability and control of temperatures in batch ovens. We are unfamiliar with the oven you selected. Consider investing and using in a external temperature monitor [profiler].

APS themselves is a good source for learning how to use this oven. Have you talked to them?

Hi Andrea, Another good place to start in addition to the oven manufacturer is your solder paste vendor. They can help you select the correct paste and give you the right reflow profile to use for that paste. Keep in mind that most vendors (paste, s

Up until this point, my company has been hand soldering all of our assemblies. We are a high reliability manufacturer and work to the IPC-610 Class three/ target. We just received a Reflow Solder Batch Oven. It is a small oven, a Gold-Flow GF-B. I ha

AXL, you could be right! I personally didn't switch they did it after i left. Is it possible that indium might have changed in the last couple of years? I remember Indiums specs stating 40% post residue? This was quite a bit higher than some othe

Wait a minute I thought I said Celestica and a few others have done the Engineering evaluations on a list of 10 top solder paste's and Indium SMQ92J and Kester's R560&562 came out on top. First you say 'don't trust all of the so called experts on thi

Who said there was NO evaluation? The paste we chose was evaluated based on a 20 point test score as well as material compatibility. Once we introduced it to manufacturing each line had problems. For one manufacturing treated it as a drop in repla

As far as solder paste goes search no further! I have worked for some huge CM's as a Process Engineer and a lot of them have put thousands of hours of Engineering time and evaluation just to come up with the same answer every time. For no-clean it is

Okay, I'm here in Colorado and I used indium 92J and loved it. My test dept. hated it! It leaves a pretty large amount of residue that apparently increased the pin maintenance. The company I worked for actually switched from this paste to another b

HI Andrea- to answer Q: 1) Stencils can be order through various vendors that manufacture stencils. You would need to have CAD data for the Stencil company to make them. You design engineer should have the CAD info. Also, the stencil design company c
