I am having second thoughts, because this machine is not an 84VZ. That's the one I would prefer. But, it is still at $520 on eBay! Arrghhhh! Well, in a little over a day I will know one way or the other. Thanks for the info on the equivalent Yam

We're currently running a manncorp ECM-93, which has served us alright, but we've pretty much outgrown it. We manufacture power electronics, a lot of double sided designs with odd form parts. We have about 30 different designs we manufacture, and we

I'm in the high reliability (exempt) sector and have thermal cycled hundreds of boards in the past few years. As far as which is more reliable, SnPb or SAC305, my data is similar to what the technical literature is saying, "It Depends". In low stra

Hi, We are currently soldering only connectors, so there is not that much to do. For the wave we currently use palettes as we solder PCI cards but don't want to wash. So the palette keeps the flux off the board. My reasons for looking at changing o

Hi, This is a little embarrassing asking this question, as I think I am profiling our oven incorrectly. I have been using the profile based on the solder paste specification, however we have been getting a large BGA chip coming more unreliable, and

Good afternoon all, I am looking for help from you folks to find a place that can do metalurgical analysis on components and contamination. We are an OEM and just recently received back from the customer several units that failed in the field after
