I agree with chuck, but would like to add. 2D is a great option and helps to keep your printing process in check, it will measure the x & y coverage on the pad. It will help you determin when your stencil aps become clogged or when the bottom of your

The hasl joint looks fuller (and is easier to inspect)because it has more solder volume. Think about it. Your pre-plating your board with solder (before you add more solder). I doubt your getting 0.3 mils of hasl.....probably more like 1.3 to 3.0

Tx, Your spec limit is the point at which you expect to see a failure. In other words, what is the probability that you'll see a short when you have .008" of solder paste? What is the probability that you'll see an open if you have .004" of solder

We sell rework stations for all kind of components and boards. The systems are designed to fit a particular size board and it's very difficult to design a one size fits all system. I personally have a lot of experience reworking high mass, high hea

I agree with Ken, the root cause could very well be obvious. However, take a look at the following items, these checks only take a minute to accomplish. 1. If your stepper drivers are the older 5410 Pac Sci modules, check for melted power connectors

Hi Erik, looks like there's not much appetite for this debate on this forum. Possibly because not many use them and aren't in a position to confirm or deny what we know. We use our pumps 6 days a week, 24hrs a day so it's a very dynamic proc

1st Consider the time involved with upgrading and troubleshooting! Is it worth it? With prices of PC's near to nothing, it may prove cheaper and easier just to purchase new system! However, Your last Post mentioned mixing of 100 and 133 Rams! Unl

128MB in any system is ridiculous these days. While we have some machines at work on the production floor that only have 128 - they're only used to view BOM's, etc. Check http://www.pricewatch.com and buy yourself 1GB of RAM for no more than $100.

It's not surprising at all if you are in the business like I am. Used buyers are only concerned about one thing....who's got the cheapest price. Stefen learned the hard way but he is certainly not the first or the last to experience this. Years ago i

We have encountered what appears to be mask discoloration after wave soldering. The areas of concern coincide with the areas that were exposed selectively by fixtures during wave soldering, dominated by one date code of PCB with a slightly different
