In order to kiss off the components with an air blow, there are two times to consider: 1. reaction time of the solenoid ( to shut off the vacuum and turn on the air ), 5-10 ms 2. time required to fill up an air hose, which leads to the nozzle. Assumi

I own and have read this book. While it is better than the average soldering book, it is not the first book that I reach for in trying to sort through a problem. It introduces a broad range of soldering methods with a reasonable amount of detail, b

Hi, I'm helping to design a website and database of product information for the packaging and SM industry. We're at an early stage, and I'm interesting in learning as much as possible about how people like you (Design/Dev. Engineers, Researchers, or

Thanks Cal, for your comments. I'm specifically working on ways to improve how search results are presented, since we're building a very large product database. In particular, I'm implementing ways that search results can behave more like librarians:

Marcos- BGA's and soldering manually is difficult. Typically soldering BGAs requires reflow just as a reflow oven does, so I recommend a rework station. Go to http://www.empf.org/html/empfset.htm and download Jan 2002, Dec 2001, Sep 2001, Aug 2001,

No, not as such. Nor should there be. This is not to say that the issue of making good prints is anything but absolutely vital to cost effective operations. Experts attribute 60+% of SMT soldering defects to the printing process. Properly, both J

Hi Nightbull, I'm with Dave. Don't see the need. Good stencil, good operator, reasonable machine with at least manual vision alignment, good set up, solder paste that satisfies you and the customer, regular maintenance, and how can you go wrong? As

I was wanting to know if anyone has had any luck at networking Panisonic equipment. We've purchased the Panacim package for one of our lines and have found that it was very costly and can create downtime. We are wanting the capability to download mas

I am not familiar with networking the machines in question. What type of OS do the machines run on? How does the Panacim software network the equipment? If you only want to access all the machines offline for file transport and do not plan on using t

I have recently been handed all responsibility of our Reflow Ovens. Upon my inspection, I discovered that any possible device on the ovens that you would think would require calibration, has a sticker indicating no calibration required. The practice
