I've got a new board (actually a new panel...a 4 up, with one row rotated, where it was a 2 up panel with no rotation before) that runs fine on the IVc but not on the IIIc. I've used the same reference points for the image rotation (fiducials) on bot

All, I have a very annoying problem with the FIP3 machine. A while ago i had an issue with 2 sensors (only!) basically they were not sensong boards etc. when I checked the voltage I had 12 volts on the GB line which should have been 0v. This proble

Hello, I have a question on white residues formation at wave soldering. We have recently run experiments to test the performance of various halide-free water soluble fluxes (ORH0 under JSTD-004). The flux was applied through a spray fluxer and all P

Peter are you having fun with solder masks erwat? We saw this years ago with LPI solder masks. It shows occasionally with other masks. We agree with Russ. If nothing [eg, alcohol, flux thinner, acetonitrile, or water] dissolves the haze, then it

The parts could still be the problem regardless if they came from different lots. If you look under a high mag microscope you should be able to see to some extent if once the lead is gone does it look like the lead plating is gone from the lead and i

Don, I have used both fixed and reciprocating head fluxers. In my experience I prefer the fixed head over the reciprocating. I actually found that the coverage was more uniform than a reciprocating. However, the fixed head on the Sono-Tek does req

I did a search for "DFM" and most of the posts were from the previous century. Is there a tool that is not too expensive that will check a board layout based on DFM criteria? I don't think there could be a good one to give the number of parts and spa
