Hi Mark, We're not doing anything too fancy. We have a couple of programs that do assist us, but in all reality, they are mainly front-ends for a database. The first is a program called Global Shops that we use for our inventory. This is based o

250 tons/month) and, as it has been stated here, many customers have switched from SAC305 to SN100C but we are not aware of any customer who has switched from SN100C to SAC305. As the inventor of SN100C states, �once a customer touches the SN100C, he

The temp is not an issue with selective soldering as the SN100C can be used at the same temp we used for tin lead. 260C. Some are using a higher temp, we did not notice any difference in the results with a higher temp. Most people run thier waves a

Are you refering to reflow soldering or wave soldering? Brian, do you have any data to support that SAC305 is more reliable than Tin-Copper-Nickel? NEMI reccomended SAC type alloys for reflow and Tin-Copper for wave. See: http://circuitsassembly.

Never had anything to do with Soltec so I cannot comment on their service. However. You must realise that machine manufacturers/distributors incur a cost in storing spare parts and making them available for immediate delivery. They are not held on co

We manufacturer cleaning equipment (full disclosure) so, our answer may seem self-serving. The facts however are accurate and relevant so here I go� Changing from an OA (water soluble) flux to a no-clean flux makes sense. After all, even die-hard

I can't believe this is the first time this has happened, but anyway..... We have a turnkey job (customer provided only the bare boards) that included testing with their system. One board failed, and we found damage (a short deep gouge) that seems t

100 PPM or 99.99% purity is sufficient for any soldering application. There are a number of manufacturers that make PSA style nitrogen generators that are great systems for electronics applications. They are low maintenance and will pay for themselve

I'm in the market, also, but vasilating over cost vs performance. I've also used both. In general, the LPKFs have more bells and wistles. On the LPKF S62, I love the tool magazine, and vacuum table. And, the fiducial recognition camera is great o

Hi 'K', We manufacture both batch and inline defluxing equipment so we have no axe to grind with either technology. There are pros and cons associated with both technologies under specific conditions. Batch machines are typically good cleaners but
