| We have installed a Sonoflux atomized mist fluxing unit (Model 9500)on our Future 1 wave solder machine. We are concerned that the retrofitting of this unit may not have been appropriate for our equipment, as we are now experiencing many problems

| We've got a continous flow cooling problem from our wave solder process into ICT. Our current configuration is a flatbelt conveyor into a manual de-pallet process, operator then places on to an edge conveyor. We've tried muffin fans, look good bu

Okay, now we can get rolling here. Here is a couple of things about selective wave that Ihave found very helpful 1. Make sure that no parts on back side are in excess of .15". if they are we skip; out in SMT and handsolder if labor costs justify.

In a former life, we used hi temp solder. I've heard of adhesive and taping methods, we just never used them. We too had a "golden" assembly that we would use for routine profiling. Our requirement was to attach a TC to the lowest thermal mass, hi

There is no IPC specification, nor should there be. * There are just too many peculiarities in the design and fabrication of PWB. * The issue is not defining how to store boards. The issue setting expectation for reliable products and allowing you th

I run a prototype/small-run shop, so I'll include some recommendations too: 1) Don't buy a machine for just what you are doing today. Once you get into this field you will find demand to do more. 2) Don't scrimp on the stencil & machine. You will spe

I would suspect if you had a full evaluation done there would be the same issue with Nickel oxidation everywhere. The reason BGA's fall off (or have solder connection issues first) is due to their size. A slight flex in the board has a much larger im

Dear SMTnetters, I've been told to have a look at finding a machine that could mill the leads of all PTH components to a certain height on an assembeled and soldered PCB. PCBs should be inserted in one side of the machine and come out milled on the

We are required by AS9100 to keep expired material/chemicals off the floor. Examples include solder paste, flux, adhesives, conformal coating, etc. We have a system in place to prevent such occurrences but once in a while something is not accounted f
