Could very well be your nitrogen diffusers are blocked. These have to be cleaned on a regular basis as well.Cleaning frequency for the diffusers is flux dependent as well as other factors but could be as little as one month of operation. Once the dif

I knew this would happen. Someone wants to rework a bad BGA artwork by cutting a trace and adding a wire under a 292p 1.27mm pitch PBGA. Has anyone done this before? What kind AND size wire do you use? How do you hold it in place during the replc

Make sure you check the MSDS for the new paste. If you have more than one production line, I'd suggest a gradual changeover. One selling point for management would be the free training Multicore will give you for the switch. If you haven't already
