The ends of the nozzles look flattened. I haven't measured the total length yet to see if it is in tolerance or not. That is for tomorrows "to do" list as well as calling tech support. When I slow the machine speed down and watch what is happening I

Please also consider that Aegis also offers the Xtra-Net interaction software. I'm unaware if any of the other products offer this. I had a problem with one job I was working on. I called Aegis, he connected to my computer directly while talking to

We have a new SMT line, our customers are asking us the validation of the process. Not only the validation of the resulting assembled board (solder joint...) but also a validation of every single machine in the line (ex. stencil printer...). For exam

Higher Tg values are only one thing to look out for. Other things that are very important to watch are: * Td or Decomposition Temperature (the temperature that the epoxy actualy starts to break down). * CTE for the material. Some argue that Td is mo

I think the homophobe, SRM, is referring to this commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHkoZ7ngAM0 CK, no offense, but just because we share the same alias, don't mean we'll share a snickers anytime soon....now, a beer maybe.. SRM - get a lif

I can tell you who to approach with caution. Watch out for ERSA. The equipment works well but the support (spare parts/cost) after the sale stinks. The guy that did the install did not want to stay more than 5 min. Just my 2 cents. Support means a

I agree with Chris. Not all but SOME components definitely had to change to be able to withstand higher heat. I would watch out for some plastic connectors, possibly some active components, and definitely many electrolytic caps. Older stock compone

This process is going to make conventional rework, and most mods and ECOs impossible. You might be able to make some changes by patching a component across the exposed pads, but most of the circuitry will be buried. You could, of course, make speci

Everything for a lead free job is labeled with green lead free labels. This includes all processing documentation. When the kit is issued to production the production supervisor and SMT lead operator are reminded that the job is lead free. When th

You mention moisture in the part as a cause of cracking during reflow. What does this type of crack look like? How was it determined that moisture was the culprit? The resonator is near the middle of the PCB, but is about 5mm from a large hole (abo
