Hello James, The most cost effective system you could buy is an offshore manufactured system. Most of the technology is the same, as well as, the design and construction as the big brands. Take a look at http://www.thermproeng.com Regards, Sea

The BEST cost effective system you could buy is slightly used. Take a look at http://www.jmw-inc.com/

Be careful of inverted homeplates if you hand clean your stencils. The "spikes" can easily catch on the wipe being used and bend up. Not to mention the nice slashing it does on your hand that immediately some how fills with solder paste.

Thnaks for the tips so far. I am currently reading our paste manufacturer's procedure for handling solder paste. I will try to adhere to it and control our old vs new paste.

Hi, We are using SACX and have not noticed any rise in copper. I do know that there are Solder Bars available without the Copper to try and bring the level under control. aj...

Steve, We use Heraeus PD 945 and clean with Electrolube SSS. It gives us a good result with both hand and ultrasonic cleaning. Also does a good job on solder paste.

No adhesive? Then how about 2 different solder pastes? Higher melting temp for the first side, lower for the second.

Ooops sorry! Has anyone ever had a problem with using FR4 for a burn-in board? We suggested using Nelco or getek, but will FR4 have any problems in the assembly area through the solder wave?

nope it will not, I am sure that an FR-4 board has been wave soldered sometime in history Russ

you may want to try a different MFGR of paste, this does help on many occasions. Russ
