Thanks ;) We even did some product development on that one. We took a normal bar of wave soldering alloy, sawed a suitable length off it and drilled a carefully measured hole through the bit of solder. The hole is wide enough so that the blister tap

I agree with Dave, we looked at it, but they can go walkies, and also people tread on them, drop things on them, mess with the programs etc. We (the IT dept, not me)ended up writing a Visual basic program & put a PC at every inspection station, li

Hi, That was another very interesting article posted. This article seems to point to the same conclusion, which is that lead free soldering is more reliable than Pb components with Pb paste, and Lead Free components with Pb paste? From what I see,

Hi All, We have a board that's going through our process at the moment, it's 1.6mm thick and has 4 wires soldered into it, these are 10SWG multi stranded wires, i'm finding that it's difficult to get the holes filled with solder as it travels up

I wouldn't worry too much about the pixel comparison machines taking too long to program, it takes ages at first but once you've done a few programs you start to build a library of components. yes you may still have to slightly adjust these as you go

You have given little detail for anyone to help. What types of components are laying in the machine? Are these components missing from the PCB? But you can check these things. 1. Check vacuum at nozzles 2. Check for obstructions in the path of the

The manufacterer of our machine recommends 99.999%. At their presentation before we purchased the machine they showed an example of using different purity levels. When they whiched the supply to 99.99 and then to 99.95 you can visibly see the diffe

Hi, We have a new product coming soon that has a fair number of PTH sockets and headers. I was thinking that it would be good to use intrusive reflow on some of them to even up cycle times between SMT and hand insertion, however, when i called t

I got some info about it last year. I could not justify ROI since this machine was way too expensive (same thing with Vitronics Selective machines). You need to see if this machine will increase your throughput or not depending on your products. Al

Hi Dave, Sorry that I did not explain clear enough. What I mean normally after reflow, the solder joint is very smooth and there is wetting. But now we see there is hole on the solder surface and is not on the same loaction. This product have been r
