Dave has stated the caveats well. I too have similar experience in reworking BGAs that mirrors your own. The only situation where I saw this as an issue, was in memory devices where a row of BGAs might share a commonm heatsink. In those cases the

I did not mean to imply building to class III would prevent failures. Since there seemed to be a little confusion about the classes I threw that out to show that class III was a higher standard. I also agree that while re-work can fix a class III d

I used Indium WF-9940 at the last place I was at for 5 years. We ran leaded and lead free product in our ERSAflow selective soldering machine with that flux type. It worked good for both applications. The place I am at now we have an Ersaflow selecti

An extraction system is not a good comparison. The extractor itself is not where they make their money. It’s off of the consumables filters etc. Aois and other larger capital equipment there is no other income stream after the sale other than a few p

Hi Jeff, both units have DC servos, and both appear to have the same vision system, although #2 has an additional upward-looking camera with a high magnification lens for die mounting. If I could make use of your hex files, that would be great sinc

We agree Evtimov that the best way to evaluate AOI is to test known good and known bad boards on a machine, preferably in your own plant. Be aware that I can run all of your boards and assure you that there will not a single false call. It's just th

Hi I have a problem with one of our MY12 machines, the machine stops very often (approx. 10-20 times a day) writing the following error message : f-mot-msetdyn hydra theta/205(f-hrdw-3). We then have to reinitialize the machine to continue productio

I've never seen a good article with a definitive explanation - just speculation that the increased wetting forces due to nitrogen result in increased tombstones. My own experience is that nitrogen is a very minor contributor to tombstones and can pr

I think you need some new suppliers. Any reputable supplier will have the M-code marked on the outside of the pkg, as that's a req't of J-STD-033. So if it ain't there, tell them they need to properly mark the pkg. Them telling you to "check the i
