I have to agree with Wolfgang & Jacko. Two months ago, I decide to run a lead free paste trial. The paste was supplied by company "X", and they stayed on site to witness evaluation. I trialled the paste using EXACTLY THE SAME equipment, stencil and

Here's part of what I could read: "We evaluated the influence of Lift-off (Fillet-lifting) and the influence of thermal fatigue, in this case on combination between various terminal platings of electronic components and Pb-free solder, Sn-37Pb solde

Sounds like your volumes are pretty low. Pick and Place is the bottleneck in the assembly line. Consider an oven that can keep up with the throughput of your P&P. "The best" is determined on individual cases for a specific application and enviro
