Thanks for the posts everybody. I thinks this is all or nothing, I mean set up my own business doing this stuff or forget it. I've been involved in SMT for about 5 years now and feel pretty confident with the process stuff. Just curious to know how

We have an outdated Metcal rework station and are thinking about purchasing a new one. We need something that has heat profile capability. We don't really need anything automated, just something that's affordable, durable, and gets the job done. Does

My recommendation is that you send all your question to Mumtaz Y. Bora, Sr. Staff Component Engineer from Kyocera Wireless (mbora@kyocera-wireless.com). She is also a member of the committee that is writing the new specifications for Moisture Sensit

Innovative Drying Co., considered this possibility early in our experiments. The rate of chamber pump-down is not a consideration. However, the selection of the vacuum pump is critical. Avoid oil-sealed pumps at all costs. A poorly maintained oil-tra

I would love to see the documentation of the experiment that indicated that a 24-hour/70 degree C bakeiing cycle at 10Pa is more effetive than a 24-hour 125 deg C baking cycle at normal atmosphere. We have looked at the old Levey-Perlmann paper and f
