As I know, the encapsulation effect occurs only with rosin based fluxes. So if you have a PBA soldered using RA Flux, you should either wash it well, or leave it alone and it will be safe. For NC process the story is different because there�s no re

We were also using DBA classic and went to Intuitive about 4 months ago. I think it is a good system but it is also a huge difference from DBA. We picked it for a number of reasons but .NET was a major one. To some extent we are still learning it so

I just saw a pre-release demo for the 8.0 AML functionality, which should do the job. Our assessments and concerns with the different ERP's are similar to yours, for example in not wanting to go with antiquated implementations. My question is, if yo

We wouldn't know a Gemini from a bread box, nor we are real clear on what you seek. So, we'll just rattle on for a while. Here's how we monitor the quality of our dispensing process: * We dispense the same nonfunctional pattern of dots on every boa

If the OSP boards have gone through double reflow I assume that you use an aggressive (halide) flux for wave soldering. SAC 305 is known (search the archives) to dissolve copper faster than other lead-free alloys. This together with an aggressive flu

About a year ago we switched from another vender to Kester 256HA paste. As we've switched assemblies from the old paste to our Kester paste, we've seen a need to increase the frequency of our oven cleanings. It has been very noticeable. After only

As mentioned, there are many ways to achieve a quick changeover. Every manufacturing environment is somewhat different..but here's a few ideas for you to consider 1. If you have lots of feeder space on a machine you can have several simultaneous se

Since you are a HM/LV facility take a look at the feeder design. I noticed that the MyData feeders (that I have seen) peel back a lot of pockets before the pick, so when you change part numbers on the feeder there is a larger waste of components. O

LIsten I'll have to diagree with you there.Now Im not the biggest expert at screen printing at my place of employment its a different department than wave which is my primary expertice but I see those UP20000 printers are always down with problems.

We've had poor luck with leaders - inefficient, not cost effective for the price of the parts usually. In my opinion, your best bet is to over-issue parts to a scrap # that works for you (all feeders are different as are machine scrap rates). This
