Steve is right, why risk cross contamination and suffer real legal battles from your RoHS customers you guarantee lead free to. Al is also right. If your customer knows they are pulling the wool over the RoHS watchful eyes, why would you want to

You weren't specific about the OSP that you use. We use Entek Plus CU-106A. Yes, just about everything removes Entek, especially if there's heat involved. Ethone states: * Alcohol strips 70% of the coating * Water removes 15% * Kyzen Lonox only t

Thanks "j". There is absolutely no support for Fuji in New Zealand or for the older IP-1 and MCS/2 programming computer. We got the machine working by studying the FIP-1 Operation Manual and the MCS/2 Programming manual and a lot of trial and error

Bert, Hopefully the MCS still has PD's from Fuji or the previous user. The Transverse rate IP set in them should be a good guide for any new PD's you may need to make. This speed is usually set as high as possible and still get accurate placements

We have a new product that uses an SMT edge connector. The process we are using is as follows: -Screen print side 1 (no paste on connector pads) -Place Rs & Cs -Reflow -Screen print side 2 (paste on connector pads) -Slide connector into side 2 wet

yes there is Caveman, (well maybe depending on your circumstances) you need to purchase a manual printer and print the connector then flip and print the other side. (you need a manual printer so you can print after the parts have nbeen reflowed, we

A customer specs .1% thin film 0805s on one product. The parts that came in the kit were marked 1002, and I suspect they were just 1%ers that were sorted for the tighter tolerance. We were a few short, ordered the balance and got parts marked 103 w

Sounds to me like your nozzle isnt seating on the z-rod bellows. Pick a nozzle up by do a 'runstep nozzle'.....then do a function 30 ( i hope thats the function because its been YEARS since i worked on a c'series). It should give you a nozzle height

I am considering moving my spray fluxer into a completely separate operation. Has anybody any comments of sraying VOC free flux on boards, then putting them in a drier/holding rack for possibly say overnight, then running them through wave solder?

Hey All, Thanks for all of your help to date. While running the nozzle height test I noticed that the Z-rod is bent. Probably happened after setting the "X closed loop soft home" back to 50 from 384 which was probably why the nozzle slammed into t
