I have the identical machine and setup as you with the same issue(s). I looked at setting up for N2 but am choosing to retrofit to a standard lambda nozzle setup. If you are soldering bottom side SMT parts or other challenging assemblies, N2 may ma

Just an update on my problem. I spoke to Loctite and they had very few solutions. One thing they suggested to try was to add a thirty-second soak time at 150 degrees to my reflow profile. The problem with that is ramp-soak-spike profiles doesn�t s

We used to bake [100*C for 6 hours] all of our boards, but no longer bake at all. Before going off, your bake recipe is probaly OK. If anything, it's probably too short. Consider measuring the weight of wet boards, baking for a time, measure, bake

I have just started an assembly which uses a 16 mil pitch QFP. We ran on Saturday, using a type 3 solder paste. (working Sat's really sucks) We really struggled with paste release after the stencil sat for 15 minutes without printing. Apertures clog

We don't know anything about using "old Tango for DOS". First, consider the fabricator of your part as the THE most appropriate place to look for layout recommendations. We've discussed the heirarchy of sources for layout information previously he
