Maxtim- I have used APE's Sniper, airvac, Mecal's 3500, PDR, Pace, and MArtin's rework stations. APE Sniper does the Job but to much automation and not user friendly software. PDR is to much IR and no convection. Metcal's work good now with the ne

This sounds alot like the warping that we all see periodically in BGA. CTE of material is temperature dependent and not temperature changing rate dependent, so you are pretty much hosed by the physics. Regardless, I do like trying like crazy to g

We had one of these years ago. We had trouble with it recognizing fiducials consistently, but other than that it ran good. This assumes that the left head, which is mechanical centering, is working good. And I believe that the minimum component

Really? Where does it say that? I have had the opposite experience and 3.2.2 from the IPC-7525 states for square or rectangular apertures - "Having a radiused corner for all apertures can promote stencil cleaning". It actually recommends circular ape

If the problem is in the big thermal pad.The surface strains in that pad are different then the others and through the reflow period there is an affinity between them(only if they are too close). I recommend you to reduce the theramal pad. Make smal

I don't know if I would call it a "blow hole". what I believe happens (I don't have a camera to watch spheres during the reflow process) is that when the flux starts heating up, expansion, bubbling, or something physically displaces the balls. We fo

We need to use water-soluble paste due to cleanliness requirements. No-clean does not mean No-contamination. I have talked to a lot of people who use no-clean and they still wash their boards except now they have to use chemicals to do it. So, you
