There are two profiles available for the Pb-free process: (1) RSS and (2) RTS. In your case, you should try a solder paste that supports RTS profiles. A minimum of 7 zone Refow Oven would be fine on the Pb-free process. However, you may still try by

As others have said, you'll have some difficulties getting good reflow on pb-free out of a 3-zone oven. We did it with a 4-zone for awhile, but only had really good success on low thermal density boards. That said, you should definitely check your

Hi Small ovens work fine if the settings are correct and I seriously doubt 55cm/min is right. Profile it and speed down to around 35cm/min. Increase first zone to around 170 keep second at 208 but increase last to around 280 BUT profile to check it

Dear Sir. Recently we had a problem in our production. We had pcbs with no RoHs (with solder Pb in pads) but we used paste Lead Free. I want to know if we will have problems in this solders in the future, because (perhaps)the solder will be broken, o

Hi Jose, such a process is possible, but you need to confirm that the PCB material has high Tg. In additon, you need to re-look solder paste printing parameters and make required changes in stencil apperture design for optimum solder volume. Just a

Hi What is the surface finish you have? Following are true if you have HASL-LeadFree surface. I have had the same problem 3years ago and we did some micro-sectioning for further analysis, still the boards are functioning properly. But you have to

The feeders on the CSM84 actually feed the tapes forward by the force of a spring. On the 8mm and 12mm feeders the spring is loaded directly by the force of the push rod on the placement head. With the larger tapes like 16mm and 24mm, a stronger sp

I have programmed one of each. The rules-based machine is about 6 years older than the model-based system, so It's probably not a fair comparison, but I prefer the model-based system by far. The model-based machine gives you a lot more flexibility an

Which companies are you talking about? There are now 2 that have left the industry... Orbotec announced a couple of months ago and Agilent was announced today on evertiq.com With that said, We have been using the Yestech AOI systems for a while now

Hello everybody, We are running a product through wave solder process using three different PCB suppliers. I have noticed that you can see more flux residues (water-based, No-clean flux) on one supplier than on the other two. All three PCBs run unde
