In order to service your wave solder machine safely, the following needs to be understood. Ladling dross out of the machine and putting it in into a coffee can or similar is not safe and puts operators and other employees at risk. Protecting the se

For ICT purposes I may need to print solder paste on 0.015" test vias. No-clean is not an option for this assembly and OA seems the only choice. Can flux be safely removed from inside the via from the other side during a standard water wash process

It seems as though you got part of your answer, that is, better safe than sorry. Now you need to do it in such a way as not to waste time. Some pnp machines can alert you to a low quantity on the machine so another reel can be obtained and verifie

I have 12 of the 500 series machines. For runner to the 1500. I had some software bugs but upgraded to the latest software. In 12 months of 3 shift a day production (with 1 day for maint) I have only spent about $500 USD in repair parts. I do also ru

Without knowing your requirements... here is a safe bet.. 8mm feeders will typically be your biggest user followed by 12mm then 16mm then 24mm... ect... apples to oranges ? 100 8mm 25 12mm 12 16mm 10 24mm is a close ratio.... as others have stated yo

IPA is a poor choice for a cleaning solvent. * As you mentioned, the flash point of IPA (~12�C TCC). This is sufficiently low that all electrical equipment within a few feet of the bath should be flameproofed or intrinsically safe, if you don't want

Hi Robert, We've been using a SmartSonic cleaning system for years. We place a lot of 0402's and FBGA components. The system cleans those apertures very effectively. The chemistry used in the cleaning solution is very safe and environmentally fri

I have an alternative way for you guys to clean the chains on your wave solder machine. We currently use Oil Eaters (live bacteria). The bacteria attacks the oil and any other chemical making it easier to clean the chains. The product is environmenta

We allow only water in production area; but only ESD-safe containers with a cap, and the owners name on a sticker. The water bottles must not be kept on top of the machines, conveyors or nearby components/pcb:s We think this is no problem at all, a
