Hi Casey, I accept your BOLD Rework challenge. Considering you did not say what the TEST was. Let's base it on speed, thermal uniformity, and process repeatability. I have sample boards that I will take to APEX with Back to Back BGAs. Does anyone wa

Erick, I would love to see a demo; the offer is also extended to you. I checked out your web site, are you talking about the unit located at " http://www.vitechnology.com/products/ls100_1.htm"? I must say your systems looks very impressive, and e

Russ, I still don't understand where you're coming from! The chipmaster is a closed loop system...it has a thermal couple. Also, I've got profiles on mine! If you're having problems with a loose nozzle just tighten the four set screws in the bl

This probably won't help much but I find it at least a little interesting. During some experimentation recently I accidently loaded a board into the wave upside down and it had a PLCC 68 package along with other types of components that had only bee

We faced terrible void issue while using Sn96.5Ag3.5 solder paste, more than 20% void. We tried adjusting the reflow oven profiles but we did not have much success in reducing the void. Generally, we find quick preheat, high peak temp. and fast cooli

What's happening Larry, I would help you if I could but I don't remember what the fix was. Do you have it set to reject the trays? This might be what the problem is. We had to turn the tray eject option off on multiple machines due to errors like thi

I usuallly like to have the pad size the same size as the ball up to +2mil, the pcb solder mask opening to be +4 mil from the pad size (I have found this to aid in Xray inspection for opens since you can see the little tail of the solder wicking up t

Hi, Can anyone help me on how to choose profile points in wave soldering...e.g. smallest like R, C, to biggest like transformer heatsink etc.... Are the thermo-couples supposed to be on top of the pcb or at the bottom touching the solder bath when fl

Does anyone know where I can find something in writting on the proper ways to clean a mis-printed board using no-clean solder paste? If not, can any of you tell me what the best way is? Currently, we are running mis-printed boards though the Aqueou
