We've got a new machine here called the "Automated Voice-Activated Printed Circuit Board Assembly Center." Basically, the way it works is you upload all of the information to this machine (your BOM, CAD Data, type of solder, etc.), and then after it

I'm in the process of running a no-clean paste evaluation. I'm presently writing the specifications for the laboratory test requirements (SIR testing, flux testing, etc.). So far, I've developed a very comprehensive set of test criteria using muc

I have used both. The moles both do the same basic functions. Software options are a little different for each. If you're just looking for basic profiles/oven qualification, either will do a fine job. If you're wanting more in-depth details, I'd su

Thanks Guys, I agree, you have to start with basics. Tri Jet, you have a point there: " art not not a science". Basically, it is a simple process. Maby that is why we "rocket scientists" try to get far-fetched answers to our process challenges, it

Hi all, In general, I am looking at restructuring of our rework processes in our factory. Despite all the effort put into design, process, material etc, there will always be some assemblies that must be repaired. Over the years, alot of hi-technolog

I agree re; "always will be some assemblies that must be repaired". This is unlikely to lessen in the near term with an imminent move toward Lead-free. We are currently working with Cookson, PACE, and BEST developing a course in lead-free rework wh

Thanks for the reply, Russ. I looked at the Air-Vac web site. I am looking for something that is a lot more basic than their machine. I had seen a small table top wave machine at a customers shop a few years ago. It had a pump and different si

Thagalain, You really need to take a formal soldering and rework class along with some component I.D. You cannot expect to be able to succesfully rework PCBAs without the basic knowledge and understanding of flux, heat, techniques and the various e

I agree with Dave, we looked at it, but they can go walkies, and also people tread on them, drop things on them, mess with the programs etc. We (the IT dept, not me)ended up writing a Visual basic program & put a PC at every inspection station, li
