In my opinion MPM is superior as far as programming the 2D inspection. It's fast, simple and reliable. The DEK has options like Formflex. The MPM only offers adjustable vacuum box. It's difficult. 2nd hand prices are not similar. We offer used/refurb

I have a interesting problem. I have a client that would like us to build 15-20 prototypes of a fairly complex design that contains a Enplas OTB-289-0.8 BGA socket. The problem I have is the customer does not have enough sockets and is asking if we

I have a question abut flux and solder preforms. We build some assemblies that have deep pockets in which we use solder preforms and add flux before placing parts and then onto reflow. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about how much flux sh

What type of reflow profile are you using ? There is a void reduction profile recommeded by some paste manufacturers, Try that it might help. Did you check the components or the board and see if they have absorbed mositure ? try baking the boards and

Thanks for the advise. I got the advise from my solder paste vendor to increase the time above melting point for flux outglassing to escape. I tried but no big help. For the moisture issue, actually I've try to bake both the PCB and components at 12

I'd like to follow the thread discussed on assembly. Hope Everyone is ok with that. I do run into the problem (have it now) that Ionic cleanliness is requested by print on a no-clean assembly. My intention is to use the no-clean to skip the aqueou

We simply don't allow any 'walkman' type systems to be used by anyone in our factory. It's simply from a health and safety point of view. Think of this scenario: everyone in a department wearing walkmans, a fellow worker in someway gets injured/falls

Good Day, We have been searching for ways to do this very thing. We have sent them out for cleaning in hot baths, ultrasonics, pressure wash, etc... The chains have come back cleaner than they left but not perfect. At one point, one of our engineers
