Need all your experts out there for tips & tricks to make things work. I been giving a task to help redesign a simple board; only to load two components. The challenge is to use pick-n-place machine to load the coil onto the 50up array panel. Previou

It's nice to be able to do things in house, and it's good to have somewhere without commercial pressures to learn and make mistakes, so I can understand where you are trying to go. Those machines look a little lightweight for consistent quality pr

Hi all, I'm thinking of adding a high-end rework station to my lab. Budget-wise I can basically afford all the solutions from Finetech, Pace, Ersa, and others. However, I'm not sure which one to go with. I'm considering Finetech Core-plus and Pace

Solder paste flux is main contributor, Lead termination chemical-oxide by products and PCB Plating-Chemicals. Reflow profile would have very limited if not no impact really unless is way off. Paste volume control and Stencil design plays a big part

We have a printer with Hawkeye 1700. The PCB side sometimes returns a distorted picture. It happens erratically, can be at startup or after a while, sometimes the machine works full day without problems. The only way to restore operation is disconnec

Hi everyone Thanks for your valuable comments. How important is the weight of the machine? How important is the vacuum feature of the stencil clamp? Does Yamaha use YCP10? Is the single blade system handy? there is a comparison table in the link

During production our MPM Accuflex stopped working. When going into "Play" mode to run production it almost instantly Pauses. When going into vision setup it fails to load the PCB saying "The PCB Did Not Load". Ignoring this error and trying to read

Experiencing some solder balls on an SSO-36 package. Things I am planning on checking are as follows: (not necesarilly in this order) I am just looking for a sanity check to see if you would try other things to help ? 1) Reflow profile. I have he

Excellent X-ray picture, very helpful! It looks like you have a lot of voiding on the center thermal pad. My guess is that outgassing is pushing solder off the pad which is forming solder balls outside the body of the component package. The first

We currently use Kester's ep256 as well and it seems to be a bit more grainy than one would expect from lead, especially if the temperature is too low. That paste says it's specialty is being robust over a wide range of profiles and stencil conditio
