We've had much trouble with flex circuits. As previously mentioned, you must have local fids for the board or the BGA itself (if panelized). Other troubles we experience are drilled holes for pinned connectors. Unless the PCB manufactur has some w

We have an ERSA Versaflow Ecoselect selective wave soldering machine. It works well except it needs nitrogen. You can't even move the table around if your nitrogen tank is empty. The spec sheet says Required degree of purity: Nitrogen liquid 5.0

QE's are the guys that sit in meetings asking the process guys --- "Uhhmmmm....my pie chart here says that we have 11 solder shorts on U1 for the week. WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?" Unfortunately, most QE's dress nice, are tall, have gelled slic

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

Hi CKH, Here's some things to consider: 1) Moved by obstruction in/entering oven, such as nitrogen skirts 2) Incorrect air pressure/air leak in oven (large surface area on component) 3) Reflow temperature too hot & electrolyte/air in cap is expandi
