I don't know �solder ballooning� from a shoebox. So, rather than let this degrade solely into a rant about the evils of via in pad, please get me up-to-speed in jargon.

Hello, everyone. We are checking a Panasonic Soft Beam machine. Did any one has expenience on Panasonic's softbeam machine - soldering performance, solder speed, easy to access? Anything would helpful. Appreciate your help.

Juan, Agilent Technologies (my employer) has just announced a new high speed paste measurement system called the SP50. If you are interested contact an Agilent Sales Office.

What's this 'metalic coating on both sides'? Is that like a 'two-sided board'? I expect that your 200�F is the primary side temperature just prior to entering the wave. If not, you need more juice [depending on your flux and all that]. [Some mode

Are all components calculated at the same cost when calculating cost per placement? Are they categorised according to their sizes / dimensions as per machine placement speed or are they also categorised as per component technology? Can anyone give m

Baking boards in a nonvalue added activity. Quit doing it!!! As a routine production activity, it is either: * Totally unnecessary ... OR * Band-aid to cover for problems in fabrication, purchasing, or storage methods. Search the fine SMTnet Archi

Try: * Prebake * Flux density * Conveyor speed * Upper preheat * Cooling time * Chip wave * Solder temperature You could add immersion depth (1/3 to 2/3 of the board) to convince yourself that it has the least impact of any variable in wave solderin

There are some fairly painless bare board fabrication methods that you can do in-house. Their main benefit is speed of respnse and schedule control. Profitability would depend on loading, marketing, and stuff like that.

In printing,the thickness of solder paste perpendicular to the Squegge direction is always lower 1 mil than that parallel to the Squegge direction,so Insufficient Solder may occur.I think you may slow printing speed or widen appertures to resolve it.

Anybody know a site that lists example oven profiles? I am looking to write a profile for 120 C for 15 minutes through a Vitronics Soltec XPM Reflow oven. Rather than guess, a rough starting time for belt speeds would be nice.
