Jason, Double sided reflow should be no problem. People have been doing it for years. The surface tension of the molten solder will hold the components on the bottom side during your second pass. This is almost always the case, unless you have re

I am currently experiencing several problems with QFP's on one of our IP3's. The first problem is with QFP240 devices. We are experiencing a high reject rate with these parts when using vision type 100. What appears to happen is that the vision syste

I agree that homplate is a good design, but also this could be caused by the stencil thickness and aperture size, if you are at 7-9 mils thick stencil and a 1:1 ratio on aperture size then 2 things i know of will happen, one a squishing out of past o

So far on all my trials on PIHR I have only used standard products as the paste is defined by the printing requirements for fine pitch etc. As most people will have seen you just get a heap more residues with this process and even more with lead free

By far the easiest way is to track solder paste measurement on your board - or solder defects after reflow (key word- easiest). Why spend 2 weeks examining a stencil when it clearly doesn't make defects, or IS making defects. I find using 2-D data

I don't have any actual "hard" data to give on improvements but, I can share some experiences with you. What we noticed when we implemented the Rheo pump was: No more solder "skips" on our boards, Improved print quality on our BGA's & 16mil fine pitc

I used an off-line paste height measurement device to control my paste process. I did not inspect every board, just a random sample once an hour. I have used both manual and automatic devices. I like the automatic becuase: 1 - I have no "operat
