We're currently experiencing a spate of solder not wetting to pads of PCBs, and it's becoming more aggravating on a daily basis. At this point, we're running out of ideas. I've searched the Fine Archives for information, and, so far, haven't found

Thanks, Chunks. That's the one point of the experiment that we haven't tried yet. Though, we came to the same conclusion just yesterday. Dave, so far, the most help we've gotten was from the paste manufacturer. I've involved the board house, but

Hi All, We are embarking on the design of an ultra low-cost pick and place machine for use by small manufacturers & would appreciate some input. Here are some points: Low cost - in the region of $6-11k (higher cost versions faster) Two cameras (up

Yes, this is a good point and really only time will tell just how reliable such a machine becomes. What I'm aiming for is to simplify and reduce the number of sub-assemblies. For example we are building the camera/vision processor and lighting into

I say that there is a market... The question is this: -How big is the market? -Is it worth going after? -Are you the person who can do it? Cost is everything to some people. There will always be a certain segment of buyers who will buy a product base

I know it is not what you want to hear, but first and foremost, you must consult your local regulating agencies and here is why: Solder paste contains heavy metals. We are all familiar with the problems associated with lead, but lead free solder pas

Hi Dave, I am not a sales person pushing my wares here, just my engineering experiences - so I hope I am not out of line here on this forum anymore. When it comes to selective or spot soldering - it all depends on your board design. Many people al
