We have narrowed down our search for a new P&P machine with the help of the few thousand threads I have read. We have our eye on three machines APS L60 by APS MC 383 by MannCorp CSM7100 by ESSEMTEC Anyone have any comments on our three finalist ? Fe

Lozie We built our own soldering robot using pace soldering irons but we have considered a Apollo Seiko bot for a different facility. I'm curious to know what kind of life you get out of those Apollo Seiko irons with lead-free solder. How many solde

Indium Corp. has some, 3549-HF and 3590-T, both are OK for foaming. Most of the better performing newer fluxes require spray application for best performance. Alpha, Kester and others have wave fluxes too. http://www.indium.com/products/circuitboar

If the PCB you are using is a HASL pad finish and is a leaded assembly, we use homeplate pads with a 5 mil stencil. If the circuit has Enig finish and is PB-Free then we use 1:1 apertures with a 5 mil stencil Either method should provide no solde

This is sort of interesting. We had a clock problem with Alpha OM-338 lead free paste. The flux residue was causing a clock problem and the clock was only a few KHz. We went back ot OM-5100 lead paste and the problem never occurred again. Chris

Agreed. Like I mentioned it before, all the leadfree solders are currently for consumer products. Military, aerospace & some automotive industry haven't implemented leadfree yet. They are still study which to go! Maybe by that time (finalized which t

I was just wondering if anybody has noticed a greenish/muddy color to their solder. It is just a very thin layer that can be easily be skimmed away but comes back shortly, I was just wondering if this an indication of a contaminated solder pot, we ha

If this takes off, can we expect to see posts like this: "My reflowed boards are fine, but my Pop-Tarts and bagels are coming out slightly burnt. I think my spike is too hot but my boss is blaming the lead-free cream cheese! Can someone help?"

In our first run, we actually followed the solder paste recommended profile then we were told to use the BGA recommended one. When we had the 2nd run we still got the same problem. We're using Kester 909HPS (lead free) and ENIG boards. Thanks.
