Hi all, In general, I am looking at restructuring of our rework processes in our factory. Despite all the effort put into design, process, material etc, there will always be some assemblies that must be repaired. Over the years, alot of hi-technolog

I agree re; "always will be some assemblies that must be repaired". This is unlikely to lessen in the near term with an imminent move toward Lead-free. We are currently working with Cookson, PACE, and BEST developing a course in lead-free rework wh

We manufacture retrofit kits completley out of titanium for all types of Wave Solder Machines, we also manufacture titanium fingers. Avoid solder overflow damage with titanium board stiffners. Also we manufacture board carriers. We have already supp

We have a line using the DEK Pump Print process. We use a 3mm plastic stencil and print adhesive through it. The adhesive we use is Heraeus 955. We've struggled with adhesive contaminating the pads of our smaller components. The deposit isn't on

We have been using Tape and Reel on our GSM for the SOIC-8 packages for a while, and it's working pretty well. Less operator error, less reloads, less jams (provided you take good care of the feeders) and LESS TUBES STUCK IN MY VCD SEQUENCER!!! I hav

aj, what do you do if your customers engineers cant be bothered sorting out the CAD data, or if you tell them you need it in a certain format and it just keeps coming in the same way anyway, we can't rely on our customers ( or some of them in partic

This is what we use. 1. we only reball when we experience a manufacturing defect (short, trapped component, etc...)and if the part is expensive 2. No testing is done prior since we only reball parts that have a defective attachment. 4. The reliabi

150*C/min * Determining the distance it takes to lower the delta temperature at the current conveyor speed: [150*C/min]/[25 inch/min] = 6*C/inch * Calculating how much of this 6*C/inch would be spread along the length of the 0805 capacitor: [6*C/inch

OK, component wide portion runs with the conveyor, so really both sides should heat and cool at the same rate. The crack is at the termination between end cap and ceramic body and run vertically up the end cap, so when we remove the cap it comes of

Lets get to the simple things. Wave or Reflow? Wave soldered parts have a higher susceptibility to physical damage until they are waved. That�s were I normally see this type of break. Usually, the crack is a circular pattern in the cap if it�s fr
