This probably won't help much but I find it at least a little interesting. During some experimentation recently I accidently loaded a board into the wave upside down and it had a PLCC 68 package along with other types of components that had only bee

We faced terrible void issue while using Sn96.5Ag3.5 solder paste, more than 20% void. We tried adjusting the reflow oven profiles but we did not have much success in reducing the void. Generally, we find quick preheat, high peak temp. and fast cooli

What's happening Larry, I would help you if I could but I don't remember what the fix was. Do you have it set to reject the trays? This might be what the problem is. We had to turn the tray eject option off on multiple machines due to errors like thi

...problem? Are you not sure its not a "feature". LOL I have had the same problem...spent many hours tracing down the sequence of events which leeds up to this situation. No real solution...however, I use the key command zero set feature rather t

Hi, Can anyone help me on how to choose profile points in wave soldering...e.g. smallest like R, C, to biggest like transformer heatsink etc.... Are the thermo-couples supposed to be on top of the pcb or at the bottom touching the solder bath when fl

Does anyone know where I can find something in writting on the proper ways to clean a mis-printed board using no-clean solder paste? If not, can any of you tell me what the best way is? Currently, we are running mis-printed boards though the Aqueou

Larry: You're correct to question this: * We don't like to run raw paste through our aqueous cleaner. It makes a blinking mess. Your entire machine is probably now coated with hazardous material ... well at least the first tank and the out-bound

Dave is correct, a stencil cleaner is a good way to go. There is an article on our web site, by Dick Clouthier, that covers cleaning misprints with various types of stencil cleaners. Go to www.smartsonic.com and click on "Recommended Reading" to fi

Hi Mike, I have had problems in the past that were very difficult to determine the source of. Our tombstoning issues were caused by the plating on the part itself. If your smd placement, x-y positioning and placement pressure is not an issue, and

Michael: I would agree with Jason. It seems your analysis has pointed you to one specific brand of part. I've also seen this phenomenon. The part was Palladium plated and when we switched to a nickel/tin plated part, the problem went away. Some o
