I am looking for a semi-manual system that an operator can use on a 2 meter conveyor to assist in part placement onto printed boards. We do some prototype assemblies where we don't get parts tape and reeled. Am looking at something that can pick up a

I agree you are too cold for the profile get it up to 230C and possibly allow it to dwell a little longer in preheat as opposed to pushing up the reflow zone only. Sn90/Pb10 melts at 220C so 2C hotter than your profile so you are reliant on it alloyi

During a service call, We had a FUJI guru tell us that Biral was actually not a great lubricant for LM rails or rust prevention because it thickens and gums up quite quickly, which is true. His recommendation was to use TFL-50 wet lube. We've been u

davef As for the repair : - with hot air blower it is not possible (you can melt, but it will not wet) - with standard iron - no problem to repair (no additional material is needed) isd.jwendell yes, the profile is checked on those places (same si

My guess is that he is talking about the gold plated pads not fully wetting with solder. We have seen this on some of our ENIG boards with the gold still showing at the far corners of the rectangular pads. Not knowing if this is hand soldering or p

The quality of the brush is most important. We use artist brushes from Torrington Brush Works. Sable works best but are the most expensive. We use more camel hair. They work best for us as we "hand coat" hundreds of boards a week and go through many

If your "engineer reviewed the reflow profile and said this was not related to reflow conditions," then what does he think it's related to? We think that a increased effort to improve the thermal recipe to solder this part is required, because: * S

Hi, Do you have a picture on one of these leads where the solder has covered the lead ? As this is a gull wing device I wouldn't expect solder to cover it. I expect to see a toe fillet / wetting around the sides of the lead and a heel fillet. If your

I have recently purchased an ACE Kiss 101A Selective Solder System 4 weeks ago. I am having a terrible experience. The nozzle will not stay wet, and the flux-er pattern continues to shift erratically; all leading to very poor quality process. ACE

In general, cleaning with deionized water is acceptable for most component. Open switches and contacts, in general, do not get damaged in this process. A good drying is required, of course, after washing. However, you've described dewetting issues
