Dave, we have the same issue running a new bare board through the oven with no paste. If there is an imcompatibility with our flux would it still manifest itself when there is not flux? Im sure there is some residual flux in the oven all the time. We

Good afternoon everyone, We have a customer that wants to specify "cleaning processes" on a board that typically has a "no clean process". Normally, I would not care, but I have one component on this board for which I question the cleaning process.

To date we are a small niche CM doing prototype and small runs. Any testing we do now is purely functional tests on the pcb ass'ys. In some cases the hardware and software is supplied by the customer, in most cases it's one or the other. We want to e

I've also found that mechanical feeders require much more maintenance than the 'smart' magazines do. Also remember that 'smart' magazines also give you the opportunity to change the setup quickly if necessary, and swap feeders if all can't fit on th

Cross: IPC nor anyone else calls out recommended pressures for washers used to clean circuit boards. IPC and the other standards setting folk are in the business of defining the expected results or outputs of processes or acceptance criterion. They

For those of you who use via holes as test points, and the via holes must be filled at the wave, is it necessary to have a "dome" on every single test point, or is it sufficient to have the via "filled" with solder? The ICT preson here insists that

Hi, They are a nice machine, and very low cost. We had one, and it was not fast, but it did a nice job. It only places one component at a time, however it was accurate on the 0805 components we used on it at the time. However I don't know how it wou

What aload of rubbish - prove it, we have over 320 users in the UK alone using the SACP0307 solder with great results, and the biggest advantage they have is they can multiple source the solder not stuck to one company who has purchased the patent an

Make sure you get a good upward looking camera combo. 4.0 on rear and 2.6 for PTF (platform tray feeder) parts is my favorite. Easy to wrench on, calibrate (if you have a cal. kit), and easy to program. Single beam will run at 2000+ cph and dual b
