I was wondering if anyone was using this machine to place 0402's and what type of 1st pass yield you were getting. I'm a little leary about the mechanical centering on such small parts. How is the feeder pick up position after it is taught? I have h

Hi, The ROHS compliant parts are usually Matte Tin on the outer terminal plating. There are also 2 further types of metal on the average chip cap - the undercoat metal of the outer electrode & the inner electrode. These are usually the same & are

I am based in Nogales and I have also tried the MS2, I was told to immediately cancel my trials, It did reduced the build up of dross but the mess it made to the wave and the surrounding areas was very bad, Everything was coated black and the smell a

I was able to escape from Riyadh last week to attend APEX. PK Metals actually had a booth where they did a live demo. They had a working solder pot with dual wave, and demonstrated how their material acts as a barrier to oxidation, which causes dro

Let me give some information on the use of MS2. The average wave solder machine will use one liter per five day week per 8 hour shift. The usage can vary + or - 20%. Instead of removing 6 to 10 Lbs of dross every 3 hours you will have to remove 100 M

We have a great deal of new reliability data and we are preparing a full document that shows the statistically valid reduction in solder related defects as well as the improved throughput. It will include all of the SIR test results which are all goo

A 70 reduction in solder useage is about what we are seeing. You are correct that there are machines that work better with MS2 than others. We are able to make slight modifications to those units, mainly making it more difficult for dross to hide fro

What I mean by it does not work is after I moved the brackets I have about 4.5 inches from the end of the TWM to the conveyor point. None of our conveyers fit there all our Conveyers have about 6 inches in the front on the conveyer. Is there a differ

I'm not sure if we are on the same page here....maybe i'm lost in the terminology. We are pulling the entire placing head. The Windmill, the shaft, the clutches...the entire thing. I'm not sure if this is what you mean by, "dropping the clutches"

Hey Sr.Tech, thanks for the heads-up. I'm familar with the removal and installation of the shafts, as well as the precautions to take...It's not only the clutches I'm trying to clean; the entire thing is way past due for a PM. I'm trying to determin
