Sorry davef. I was not being clear. PCBAs came out cold soldered after being reflowed the first time with ALPHA WS-820. The flux gel ALPHA WS 609 was supposed to be applied only onto the terminations of caps where ALPHA WS-820 was for a second refl

I remember doing that back in the day. We not only used bags but also wood planks. It was an old solder-cut-solder process without any top side preheaters. I wouldn't do it today because the bags would interfere with the top side preheat let alone a

Our company is looking to upgrade from a dek249 semi-auto printer to an automatic inline printer since we're doing some fine pitch packages which are tricky to line up, and we'll soon be tackling bga's for our products. We're looking on the used mark

I see your point and I know you can make this machines run, but it doesn't change the fact that when you need them most they will let you down. It is almost impossible to find spare parts for some of them, as they are no longer supported. If you have

Hello. We have a problem with our Juki 740 machine. It does not start at all, both monitors are blank. The only error we can see is "FAIL" LED on CPU board and red "LD2" LED on "AC SERVO BOARD". Does anyone know what the "LD2" LED means? Or, even be
