Hi Chrys, Hate to bring you down, but, wave solder pallets exposed to any kind of flux is subject to "Build up" on the carrier. You still have to clean them, hopefully on a regular basis.If the pallet is being run in a high production envirnment, I w

When going to a "no clean" process, there are always two items that will require cleaning - stencils and pallets. You may also have a requirement to clean misprinted PCBs and possibly SMD adhesives. The Smart Sonic Stencil/Pallet Cleaning Process

Remember, even if you are successful in your justification of not cleaning your final product, there will always be a need for cleaning. Screens, stencils, misprinted PCBs, wave solder pallets, squeegees, tooling, etc. New cleaning applications can

Before this wave solder pallet salesman blather gets too far out-of-control, let�s stop for a minute. The three major approaches you have are: 1 SELECTIVE SOLDERING: Using: * Specialty wave soldering machine to solder specific areas of a board * P

Surface tension is a likely cause. Surface tension is a negative wetting force. You may have a solderability problem. Be sure your flux is properly activated according to the flux mfg. top side board temp. specification. When surfaces to be soldered,

We have been processing a 3 and 5 up flex array for nearly four years on pallets and have had a pretty steep learning curve. Make sure you have vacuum holes in your pallet for the screen printing process, also work with your support block vendor to

Outside the box: Can you retro your oven with a belt chain combo? I always order my ovens this way just in case. No pallet or carrier needed then. Can justify retro against the cost of the pallet or carrier. Two part epoxy instead of heat cure?

Hi Grant, You definitely have a pre-heat problem and not a flux problem. Pallets together with the BNC connectors put a large thermal demand on your pre-heating. 3 zones would be a good investment even with leaded solder due to the high thermal dema

Hi Mika, We had roughly the same set up - AP27 -CP6x2, GSMx2, VIP98 & we ran the thin boards with durastone routed pallets. If you route out a 0.4mm pocket on the pallet and either use kapton tape/high temp masking tape/ or 3M spraymount to hold
