We have just installed an omega wave to our W/S machine and are tring to W/S some of our bottom side surface mount components. I am still getting skips on some sot 23's. The component lay out meets all IPC 782 guidelines. I have verified these setti

I am running composite fixtures on my wave solder machine and after about 500 passes each (1 month)they are showing serious signs of wear in that the composite surface is bubbling up and glass fibers are also starting to show. The problem here is t

Hi, Can anyone help explain the benefits/disadvantages of bareboard pcb baking, as part of the pre-heat conditioning, before the bareboard pcb use in SMT production run? The pcb board is 200mm x 240mm panelized pcb board, and has 28 smaller pcb boa

I may be stupid but what exactly do you mean by "foil" on both sides? Are you having trouble with top flow? bridging? Are you using water soluble or noclean? Are you also waving SMT components? Anyway, normally the solder temp should be 460 - 500 F(

Dave, thanks for the reply. These boards have metal plating covering 99 percent of both primary and secondary surfaces. The only places without the metal plating are the extreme outer edges and about an 1/8 inch surrounding the plated holes. We do
