The cover tape that seals the parts into the reels on our feeders always uncovers a few parts (up to ten 0805 parts) before the part can be picked. So removing a partial reel always results in the loss of a few parts. Putting a partial reel back on

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! We have to perform this on occasion as well. We perform this when we cannot get a board to stay free of tacoing, oilcanning, sagging or warping. (we needed a bigger preheater dimension wise) We have one no

Thanks ;) We even did some product development on that one. We took a normal bar of wave soldering alloy, sawed a suitable length off it and drilled a carefully measured hole through the bit of solder. The hole is wide enough so that the blister tap

Look USED, but be very very careful with dispensers. I would suggest getting one from a reputable used broker that is willing to do a demo on your baord with your material, and video it for you. there are only a few that will do this, most want you

The ONLY (unlikely) cause I could think of is if you are pushing the component into the solder, ending up with more solder on one side than the other. Why do you think it is the volume of solder that is causing this? By the way, there are "low tomb
