I need to reduce costs on solder paste wasted

Electronics Forum | Tue Jul 19 08:38:23 EDT 2011 | cecastel1510

Basically the main contribuitor is when we need to stop production, ie on weekends, or due to some material shortage on line, we move paste to a different line, but in the case of weekends and stop of production, we usually throw it away. Thanks

Need to clean no-clean flux?

Electronics Forum | Thu Aug 04 09:32:03 EDT 2011 | rway

No need to clean unless the sticky residue is an issue for you. If you are working with RF, it could be an issue. You may have probe contact problems as well with ICT and FT fixtures. We use a low residue flux for our wave solder machines (Kester

Yes, but even high force probes are not a cure-all. You still get flux build-up over time which can cause contact issues. The best way is to use a low residue flux in the wave to minimize what's left on the pcb post-wave.

My company is starting to look for a new screen printer. I know the two main player in the market are Dek and Speedline/MPM. Are then any other manufactures that I should be considering?

The "low line" DEKs are made in China now (same ones marketed in China under the ICON nameplate)... Higher level are still made in UK... I thinkk similar with MPM; I know they are still producing machines in Mass... Both suffer from cost down manufa
