Its it possible to post a picture from right after reflow? To see what we start with and compare the difference after 5 years. The grainy structure is not as much a concern as the growth-like appearance on the boundary of the solder. What paste al

I have a Suzuki vision machine with 4 heads (SMT-1000VL). This machine is using the camera to inspect the nozzels (4 sets) in the nozzel tray changer every time it is going to change the nozzel(s) in the 4 heads. The problem I have is now the machine

Yes.... stop checking on your process.... :) Seriously...if you cleaning the boards after I would suspect no issues. If your leaving the flux on the board (I suspect they are using quite a bit) then I would be concerned. Since the boards have al

We don't agree that "a little to the top would just even things out". The raw flux on the top of the board never touches the wave and so, does not receive the proper amount of heat for activation, except at the through hole barrels. * We assume WML

Hi, A little off subject but I just finished a quick little experiment where I placed 0201 to 1206 and some ceramic resonators at specific distances off the scored edge. The distances from scored edge ranged from 0.025" on up at 0.025" increments.

I agree with Dave, we looked at it, but they can go walkies, and also people tread on them, drop things on them, mess with the programs etc. We (the IT dept, not me)ended up writing a Visual basic program & put a PC at every inspection station, li
