Wavemaster Larry must be new to the forum. What a nut! Sounds like a dude who needs to get his internet access taken away. In Riyadh, Larry, you'd get your arms sawed off for those comments! Grant is right. Hardware-wise, all thermal profilers

This is indeed yet another proof that under impulse of the RoHS directives all norms are flushed down the drain. Bean counters are slowly but surely taking over our industry because they no longer face resistance by form of standards. Even the basic

Hi, We have a 5 zone oven and we use a RTS Profile. Our last zone is the zone that the reflow takes place. some basic analysis is as follows: TAL 70 secs, peak temp 210,ramp rate seems fine. A typical setting is : Z1 140 Z2 160 Z3 160 Z4 185 Z5 220

I see what you're saying - I'm not a process guru by any means. I was going on the premise that SAC melts at a higher temperature than SnPb. Basically I think of it as a BGA is joining solder to solder, unlike an SOIC where it is tinned metal lead t

Hi Piet, We looked into this too at some length (we do a lot of FPGA and 16 & 32 bit micro designs) and every semi auto machine we checked out was to be fair, crap. Especially on the number & type of devices you could sucessfully handle, set up & a

Mydata are OK, but they will not last as long as the Siplace if running the same volume. They are easy to programme, change over & upgrade - they are very good entry level machines. One thing to remember is that they make use of large scale gang pi

Grant- I'm not sure when it gets to the point when egos begin to over-ride productivity but at some point it does. I remember working at a large OEM builder of NIC cards back in the early 90's. We had a line manager for each line per shift, (5 line

WE have been running a leaded product for a few years and while the product is exempt from PB free regulations the components have been comming in lead free reciently and this caused little or no change in the process and or product, However! the Boa

I am considering moving my spray fluxer into a completely separate operation. Has anybody any comments of sraying VOC free flux on boards, then putting them in a drier/holding rack for possibly say overnight, then running them through wave solder?

I found this pot, and tried adjusting it. It was already turned to its maximum, and the histogram did not look good. I tried replacing the board lamp and this helped the histogram a lot, but I am not able to get the bars centered in the green. The
