Hi, How has it worked for you with small parts such as 0402, and are you using these size parts, and getting any tomb-stoning problems? We used lead paster with our vapor phase, while lead free should have less surface tension, so I have always won

We actually found the opposite to be true. Boards processed in VP are much cleaner than those processed in our air-only convection oven. We tested 5 lead free solder pastes upon implementation and found that the type of paste does affect the number

Chunks, Thanks for covering my back. Except from being able to wave the big green flag what benefits does lead-free have? Once the green flag comes down we will see what a mess lead free has made. I hope that all the sales people that claim to mak

I would probably go with the Assembleon. It is a very well built machine with good software. I don't know Ipulse, but I've worked on the other 2. The newer cheaper machines could have problems. With potential down time, the difference could pay f
