They work great as long as your conveyor speed has been calibrated and checked on some type of PM schedule. On some oven types these sensors can warn you to possible problems with the conveyor speed. Say the oven is calculating that the board is movi

Thanks, guys. Hi Larry, long time no "see". Dave, 60k dots out of a Camalot 2800 does not a "Dispenser Boy" make. :P I'd print them in a heartbeat if the proximity to radial leads didn't necessitate me placing radials first. Oh, wait, I'd have to

Here is a tip. Do an evaluation on materials. DO not trust what anyone says about solder paste. There are just too may "experts" out there peddling the brand of the week. You can begin with the brands listed, but do your homework. You know your

Hi I am going to take another direction. Go to some classes, and buy some of the books, or hire a consultant to get you up fast. A consultant would be my first choice for speed and accuracy. National Training Center for Microelectronics in Bethleh

What works in Alaska will probably not work as well in Florida. We have solder paste vendors give us direction with their specific paste, but we also impart our required process parameters on their paste. For instance, here in Alabama in the summ

Who said there was NO evaluation? The paste we chose was evaluated based on a 20 point test score as well as material compatibility. Once we introduced it to manufacturing each line had problems. For one manufacturing treated it as a drop in repla

Try an experiment where you profile the assembly with 3 consecutive boards in the oven spaced just 1" apart versus just 6" apart and then 12" apart. You figure most ovens have about 12 - 16" heating zones, so for your typical 8"x8" PCB, you'd have w

Today's regular Sn-Pb paste chemistries are designed to run at higher peak temperatures ensuring that your lead-free alloys will coalesce with your regular Sn-Pb solder. That being said, it is do-able to solder both types in one oven. Generally, wit

Hi all, I'm working in Military Production and then, We have an exception about RoHS (LEAD FREE), but, because we use "normal" components, in this moments, a lot of components have LEAD FREE terminations, and we think that after of 1st July, we wo'nt

I had horrible experiences with a certain brand on multiple types of BGA's (I choose not to mention the brand). The paste was nice and active, but almost to a fault when it came to BGA's. Finally, I arrived at a profile with a more agressive ramp u
