Looking for recommendations for references on quality an process control.....SPC, process capability (cp, cpk), etc. My feet are a little wet on this stuff, but we'll be implementing soon so I'll need a reference to bail me out on occasion. You kn

You should evaluate products from Datapaq, Electronic Controls Design, and Kic Thermal Profiling. Each sells very good reflow profiling equipment. Beyond the straight forward issues surrounding the question of "Does this thing produce a good profi

Hello Dave, Solder mask rework has been performed on both bare and populated boards. There are factors that come into play with a populated board that make this type of rework more difficult, such as the density of components(especially around th

If we were talking about a single board problem, we�d be thinking about the laminate, but since you imply the problem is broad-based across multiple assemblies, consider the following machine parameters: * Crank-up preheat time / temperature to driv

Hi: We are about to build a batch of highly critical control cards with 5 BGA on them. We just recently had a significantly bad yield at our subcontractor in the San Jose area. We feel it is in the reflow profile that was used but are not 100% sur

Not to toot my own horn, but ever since I came on board at my company, wave solder defects have gone down by 35%. This was due mainly to a new flux and a process control system that I implemented back in '99. Now, the metric used was DPMO. How do

Have you a reflow oven that has upper and lower heaters? Have you a reflow oven that uses hot air as well as elements to control the transfer of heat to various areas? If yes to these, I would suggest increased air flow or change in direction of

Genny, Xray systems ( or at least what I have seen ) are a manual based system. That is, you put the board on the machine and look at certain locations that you want to inspect. What we have in mind is an automated system that will catch obvious, no

Why measure solder volume? I believe if one understand the process well enough, the effort should be spent on area that will gives better indication of your solder printing process. From my personal experience, a lot of auditor knows little of the pr
