WOW, thanks for the documents, this will REALLY help selection. It looks like I want the FLX2011CV, that makes it a lot easier to set up and not have to reach into the machine to load and unload boards. The machine footprint is really compact, 10 m

Almost all the people here buy boards with the metal already plated on. We are mostly assembly people. The ones you really want to talk to are PCB fab people. And if you want to look into plating PCBs, I would suggest you look up Black Pad. It hasn'

I'm having a problem getting sufficient solder reflow on a SMD part. The board design (which can't be changed) is covered in ground planes that cause a lot of uneven heat distribution. I believe heat is wicking away from the culprit part, causing t

I would question your motive "There's no way that I feel comfortable shipping boards after a selective without cleaning them, the amount of flux on the board is significantly more than from SMT". 1. Who said that residue should be cleaned and why? O

if you can set bad mark white=good on first machine, black=good on second machine and place same 3 components on them then all is left for 3rd machine not to look for bad mark but just to place remaining components. is board panelized? do some math a

I Changed old parts to New Parts for: All 5 Magnetic Contactors, Circuit Breaker/Protector 1, I/O Switch housing + contact blocks, both 12v and 110v relays. Still CP40 contactors won't engage after I/O Switch is pressed, G9D-301 Safety Relay Power Le

I can't see the image very well, but from what i see it looks like oxidation. looks like an ENIG finish on the board, possibly a plating issue from the bare board house, thin gold or the nickle is to thick. one other question i would get an answer t

It's been a while but what about the nozzle? Is it still springy? And did you check the part data? At one place our machine would be metric or imperial depending on a visitor from HQ. If you are smashing parts on the board that isn't good and if you

Hello Everyone, We are building devices to remove moisture from boards prior to rework where it does not require the use of ovens as stated in IPC-TM-650, Method 2.6.28. Instead of evaporation, we use moisture magnets to pull out the part......even

Hello Everyone: Heat Can Be Very Damaging to Boards and well as extended oven time can cut into valuable production time. Steel Camel is testing ambient temperature drying to remove diffused and embedded moisture in PCBs. We are seeking scrap pie
