Chipbonder is best applied with a stencil. Too bad on the dispenser purchase. Little hint, use a Kapton Stencil. You can have them laser cut and can get them as thick as you want. Another advantage is the ability to make shapes etc for cleaning

Good comment about the "passthrough" CAMALOT. I like that one. About the beer...when I was in field service, I was a microbrew nut, and still one of my favorites is Fat Tire from the Boulder, CO area. honorable mentions out West are (yes) Pyramid

This question is like asking what kind of boat should you buy. Depends on what you do with it.... I would ditto the CP40. Good discrete placer and very reliable. Your PCB Design, Stencil, Reflow Oven and Paste selected are just as critical to you

Hi, I will give just one of the couple of ways I have seen. Once a particular product is debugged, verified through the process the profile of the Oven and it's settings are stored on a separate PC. Prior to running that product and at the start of

How are these connectors and dips oriented? If the leads are parallel as opposed to perpendicular to to the wave this can promote bridging depending on spacing and length. The long leads showing icicling are most likely either inadequate heat OR the
