Hi Yngwie Have you got a reflow oven yet. If not, forget about complicated profiling with test runs or reflow trackers. We've got a nice oven with integrated temperature-feedback system. You build any profile you want and the oven will adjust its hea

Hi mates, just my 2cents worth... some folks (like us) have product runs that have BGA using no-clean, coupled that with Class3 IPC-A-610 specs, topped with aerospace/military customer defined specs. we end up cleaning NC with a degreaser machine w

Jason, Excessive thermal ramp rates, misprints, improper pad design, paste type, placement pressure, all can cause solderballs. Do the pads on this board meet IPC 782 criterias? I have found that too much pad underneath component can cause this. A

Sam, I can tell you right now that if you have a low volume hi mix application where the program/job is changing every day, an AXI system is not going to be a good fit. As you alluded to, the programming time is onerous, the fine tuning or tweaking i

We based ours on the type of paste we use (stencil life) and not so much the machine. Then we coupled that to what 'true' conditions we normally see in our plant, and determined that under these conditions Max & min) our printing process should be g

Assuming you are talking about solderable surfaces: People specify various materials to protect the solderability of the pads on the board. Gold, actually, Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold [ENIG], is popular. * Board fabricators like it because

Guys, Thanks for the input. Its a Opto-Electronic project I'm working on for a customer with a device on a ceramic substrate. Yes, I did learn from Indium that 007 is no-clean and has a high-solids content. They reccommended using TacFlux 010, which

I saw this system at one of the last APEX Shows. I was not impressed because of the many downsides and potential hazards. Strapping an electrical device on your hand and placing the device into a liquid is kind of like blow-drying your hair in a ba
