This is the least desirable method (mirroring). 1. X-ray inspection becomes difficult. I will repeat: x-ray inspection becomes difficult. False fails go up. True fail detection goes down. 2. Remove and replace becomes challenging. You really

In addition you may want to research a product offered by Sony...www.timmsweb.com This product has recently exploded onto the market and it has enabled Sony to enjoy a competitive advantage in manufacturing over the last decade. This system has all

I cant wait to hear the replies. We are an Ersascope dealer. Have sold over 25 systems. Have looked at all the competitors and Fortunately in our minds, Ersa still offers the best system. Not the least expensive, but the best. I found that ease of

I would contact my local distributor. Using a Heat Gun is not the best method for rework. Using the Air Bath depending on board specifications also may not be the best method. Try a small distributor rather than a catalog house. Usually the small dis

CJ- If I am not mistaken the Zephytronics machines have a money back guarantee if not satisfied. We have boards with huge ground planes and the air bath is the only rework that can do this. We also have found heat guns get hot enough but the heat is

You are welcome. I typically just read here and try not to post, but the other post was unfairly negative and seemed to be biased to a single supplier...which I always find suspect. Here are the links to APE and ZEPHYRTRONICS which I hope you find h

Hi all, Need some advice on wavesolder pinholes issues. The PCBs are stored in a warehouse for 6 months and not vacuum packed. Before wavesodlering, boards are baked 2 hrs at 110 deg. But every piece of it has pinholes at random locations. PCB i

Hi,Please 1.X-ray your board where you found pinholes.perhaps you'll found much voids in your joints,but not only the pinhole.this must be caused by the poor solderability of PCB mostly...or components. 2.Cross-section the pin hole or void in the joi

Got to agree with John on this, get a stencil cleaning wipe something a little more potent than standard IPA and wipe the surface thoroughly, this should produce a green residue of solder resist. If this does happen then ask your PCB vendor to look a
