We have a TCM-V822 over in the warehouse that had a severe head crash. If you suspect you have a bad servopack, contact Unidec. They can test it for you. If it tests bad they can rebuild it for you and you won't have to wait for months to have o

Hi, Bill, Lead-free solder and paste manufacturers will be a great resource for you during the transition; they've tested their products extensively, and their application groups have been able to help me through the biggest changes. There are a fe

Typical problems with our heller 1707 EXL would be blower issues. We have almost replaced every blower on the top sense purchase. Fortunately Heller is very good about honoring there warranty on the blowers which is quite long, Might be lifetime not

Murad, I have just completed a switch over in our facility to no-clean. We used Alpha 609 and 857 paste and wave flux respectively. We currently use Alpha UP78 paste, NR330 wave flux, NR205 liquid flux for touchup and cleanline 7000 wire solder as

Dason, IPC/EIA J-STD-001C states: "....temperature within the range of 230C (446F) to 290C (554C)." That's a pretty wide process range. 250C has been typical in the past. We run ours from 230C to 240C. We have found that some single-sided PCBs can de

With friends like you, who needs enemies? I�d guess that the perceived benefits of flat pads for your 20 mil pitch and below components counter-balance the higher cost, gold being a solder pot contaminant, limited solder mask compatibility, potentia
