By definition, no clean solder can be not-cleaned. The solder/flux are formulated to result in low ionic-contamination, hence, no cleaning. I have, however, always had at least one customer that requests their no-clean solder get cleaned. No-clean

We use Microsoft Access to track our feeders. I have made a system for the machine operators to tag the feeders when they run into problems. We seem to be having a lot of pitch issues. I am wokring on geting a calibration jig to solve that issue.

Doing the research on the feeder jigs, I have found that certian jigs are not used in most places. I am hoping that some people with the different jigs can post their feedback on the jigs they have. I have been told that some of the 'cheaper' manuf

We have tested the Feeder Master and I have to say, we are not impressed at all. The main thing that we thought would be great with it was to test the feeders in full speed, but you dont get any data out from the machine so you only end up waching th

Hi aj, We recently purchased an AOI machine. While doing the first pass research to see which machines to put through a head to head competition I discovered a major improvement in the programming for newer machines. If you buy used, get one that

While many here would probably shoot themselves at the thought, I'd recommend a Quad IVc. You can't get much smaller, they're easy to set up, easy to operate, and for the most part run pretty much forever with minimal maintenance because they're so m

You may very well be right Hussman, but I'm not certain that marcin knows exactly what he wants to know. :) I would call that ramp rate, not delta t, but that's my language. marcin, what I'm talking about are the varying temperatures on your board d

If you are talking about the REM oil sold for guns then I would not use it personally. B.T.W. REM oil has teflon in it. I quit using it on my guns because of its poor performance. It now resides in my garage...I use it to lube the axles on my push m

It's all by feel and looks. Too many variables to tell you exact number of times. Most profile boards are set up to perform initial profile and then repeatability at a set period after that. So changing boards will alter the t-couple and skew your

I am in the R&D department at KIC. We have been making thermal profiling equipment for 20+ years. A standard circuit board is made from FR4 fiberglass. A typical solder reflow profile, whether leaded or unleaded, takes the board above the "glass t
