Russ, I don't understand this thread in general...Got three APE Chipmaster's and one Chipper running 24/7 and have never had a problem....it's been almost three years. What are you doing with your Chipmaster? What chips? It's rare that we hav

John, We have a Camalot 3800 that we have used to prototype double sided reflow boards. The flexibility a quick turn around work well for prototyping, but I wouldn't want to run production with it. The paste is 3 times the cost per unit volume of

I have a problem with a mixed technology board. The board have two PGAs which are soldered in the wave soldering machine together with two connectors and a lot of glued surface mounted small components on the secondary side. The problem is that some

Hi, I was wondering what tool there is in the market for shield removal. We are heating up the shield with a hot gun, and using a tweezer to remove the shield, I have a concern that this might have high posiibility that the components under the shie

Have you a reflow oven that has upper and lower heaters? Have you a reflow oven that uses hot air as well as elements to control the transfer of heat to various areas? If yes to these, I would suggest increased air flow or change in direction of

Guys Is it possible to completely eliminate random solder/microsolderballs from No-Clean products that go over the wave. The Assembly is a mixed technology product which is HASL finished. All profile types have been exhausted, 3 flux vendors have be

As a band-aid, consider running your chip wave when soldering these boards [Similar to Cals "dance with me babe" suggestion.] If the problem is as broad based as you say and the radial components have a tight fit, consider increasing the holes by a

I have several carts at my facility, i think we had our machine shop make them a while ago, we can store loaded feeders on the top portion and we can store several screens on the bottom. The idea is to have the days production, if two jobs or more,

We only have Mydata's where I work. The reason we chose Mydata is because we are low volume high mix, and our PCB's tend to be a bit larger, 12" X 18". Because of the high mix environment the Mydata fit better than others. Changeover is easier, and t
