Losing parts in reflow

Electronics Forum | Wed Jun 13 14:48:48 EDT 2007 | rgduval

Is there a sort of standard method to prevent part loss in reflow? I've had a couple of situations come up recently where we've lost some parts during second-side processing. We're running an Heller 1800, with a mesh belt. Most items process fine,

very cheap way to reclaim solder from dross

Has anybody ever use this method to reclaim the solder from dross. I tested this $10 gadget, it's used to press potato to make mash potato. The result is comparable to a $20k machine that basically does the same thing, i.e.: compress dross to squeeze

Hi, in our company, we had performed a failure analysis on some PCB finishing ENIG faulty, cause detachement of heavy components. So we performed a SEM / EDX analysis on the nickel and we discover a 20 % of carbon instead of the standard 0.04% (on s

The surveyor is a a plate that I use to "survey" or verify the oven on a weekly basis. The data logger or profiler is the actual unit that follows the board through the oven to take readings. I don't think the zone thermo couple that measures temp a

| Mario: Interesting analysis. What does "Hand placement versus wrong component should only ave. 20-30 ppm." mean? Is that a subset of errors? Thanks. Dave F | What I mean Dave is that if you have a good (well actualy a great set-up) with all t

IPC Raw PCB Inspection

So, as I understand it, IPC6012 are performance criteria that your board shop should be using. I think you'd want to be using IPC600 for acceptance criteria at incoming inspection. At least, that's what I always did in my CM days. And, since you'r

I am a Siemens person myself but you won't get 23", you can get 20 though and I believe you could feed in a 23" board length wise. If your parts fit in a 20" area 80F4 is the way I would go. My second choice would be MYdata. They are the large board

Laser Marking stations generally accept the product, clamp it in place, then through a motion platform move the product underneath the laser head. Marking is generally conducted with a CO2 laser ranging between 20 to 30 watts. You will loose 20% thro

MANEX ERP or DBA Manufacturing - any user comments?

Peter, Need a new hire? I'm up for moving . Considering the size...I'd guess that DBA or something similar is more along the right lines for you. xERP (Manex) may be way more than what you need. We were using it in a $20 mil company, and had a l

For laser marking you don�t require as powerful lasers then for cutting. A 20 Watt laser diode does already a good job. Because of the safety requirements the laser operates in an enclosure, which means more $$$ if you want to use the laser in line
