Buy decent solder in the first place especially with Lead free and the savings made could be around 50% of the dross production for Lead Free when compared to Leaded. Buy poor quality solder you will need a solder recovery unit of some format. Cheers

I do not know what kind of products you assemble but don't forget about the cycle time. You probably could accomplish more and faster with a custom nozzle (solder fountain style)for a specific application than point-to-point soldering as laser. I eva

I am working on a new product that has a flex circuit attached to an 8 layer motherboard. There are 25+/- connections. I am investigating hot bar soldering vs ACF (conductive film) to make the attachment. I am looking for literature/papers/experim

90% of the battle with thermal profiling is your thermocouple attachment. That is Process Engineering 101. It's just like painting your house. The masking and prep work will make or break the end result. KIC did a DoE on which thermocouple attach

Hi, There are a couple of Omniflow 7 and 7E that are being used in the production. Recently we found a lot of flux clogging up the exhaust ducts. Anybody who uses the same type of tool who has seen this kind of problem? How can we fix this? Does

This used to ba a hot topic years ago. But surface mount equipment does not need to be in a clean room. Your product may need to be , which would drive toward a "standard". Some people assume that "clean room" mean "high quality". Next time hav
