Thanks for the answers. Hi Dave, I'd love to use some of the durastone we have here, or some Durapol or Delmat (never used Glastic before though), however we need a compliant material for the blade to go into slightly, otherwise they tend to snap or

Couple of things. Type T thermocouples are solder friendly. However usually a header with screw terminals poses no problem as the temperature differential is nil. Getting thermocouple leads wet causes problems because two dissimilar metals + condu

We have had issues with using the ones from Best. The holes are not always cut correctly and the edges (inside the holes) are not well defined because of the kapton material they use maybe. Plus you leave the mini stencil on the PCB under the BGA whi

For ur information, this BGA machine was full utilize every day. I have more than 100 model to do profiling every week. Different PCBA with different thickness & material need different temp setting. currently i'm looking for profiler that more compa

I had a similar problem a long time ago. I eventually traced the problem to undercured solder resist. The flux was reacting with what was left of the uncured resist, leaving a white residue. We could not even hand scrub this off. The solution was to

Hi, Yes, we just built a new plant, and used copper again. The stuff we cut out of the old building was copper, and it was fine without any issues. We lay it on an angle so condensation flows to an end, and can be periodically vented, and we take a

We had a cooler fail once, before we had any SMT. Auto-insert was at the far end of the building, at the end of the compressed air line. When the Unimod (dip inserter) sprayed the operator with water when the pneumatic table rotation motor fired up

I certainly wasn't endorsing the use of the PVC piping that was installed prior to my employment there. Also, I recall that all the piping was above the ceiling tiles and regular air line hose was dropped along with the power cables. So there was l
