Hi Paul, I have been to the Novastar mfg plant in Penn. and to a demo of the TD Nu Era model also in Penn at Advanced Competitiveness Institute. After seeing both we have decided to go with the TD model. Im not sure where you are located but the regi

Hi russ, I am in the process of developing a "hybrid" reflow profile to solder a board that has LF BGAs and leaded solder. Have you encountered a similar situation before? if so what was the "safe" top side temp for the leaded components that was set

I would like to freeze feeders on a global basis. I am tired of table changeovers everytime I run a different board. A good example is today I ran 1 board which went well. I wanted to run a board behind it that had 99% the same parts. I am not necess

Hi SMTnetters, I have a white residue coating all over my reflow oven innards (almost looks like white fungus). How can I absolutely be certain that it’s flux and not anything else?are there any tests available for this? I am planning to check the ov

I was wondering if anyone could help point me in the right direction on this one. This morning I discovered that our hand solder operators have been using the liquid wave solder flux for some hand soldering operations. We are using Kester 245 63/37 n

Thanks ;) We even did some product development on that one. We took a normal bar of wave soldering alloy, sawed a suitable length off it and drilled a carefully measured hole through the bit of solder. The hole is wide enough so that the blister tap

My company also uses the TM8C (all feeders) with the same problem as Paul. The 0402's do exactly the same as he desribes.The SMT operators are correcting the placement data all the time when using 0402 but to no avail. Chris What do you mean by the
