cman, I wrote a macro for "TextPad" which is free to download for a fully functional evaluation (which never expires). The macro converted my sample Mentor neutral file to this format: ############################################# ###Component I

No, we haven't compared bills because we rarely let it cool completely down over night. I would think that the cost needed maintaining 200C over night versus 310C over night would be about the same, but a little less. But going from 25C up to 3

80-90% of an average SM component is non wetable (pushing away solder). So if you would use a single smooth lambda wave (massive amount of molten metal) the negative force of the non-wetable part of the component would be so high that the solder wou

I do want to run a profile, but they won't give up the machine long enough for me to run one. The boards that we are running through the wave are large boards, with large caps, and large transformers on it. We're building highend power amps that

Well, everyone has provided good advice, but if you are looking for a wave flux that can provide much better dwell times and consistent wetting throughout the hole fill, without making adjustments to your production process, I suggest going with Senj

Our UCT runs on windows. I like to use UPS then drop that program on the machine then save it to UCT after it's running well. I guess mostly because I'm used to UPS/uploading CAD data. However, if you use UPS in combo with UCT you must be sure to

Hi Shrek - Not sure why you think adjusting dwell time and preheats is a sales pitch, but I do appreciate your candor. These are proven, widely used techniques for attacking, eliminating and preventing the recurrence of blowholes. Since it is so ea

Worked for MPM for many years, and this sounds like a fairly common problem which is easy to fix if you can answer a few questions, several of them already asked... 1. Is this happening only on this board (if the answer is yes, this is a good thing!
