Hello Sergey, I have used Kirsten Modula Wave with ADL (anti dross liquid) option. We have had the same expectation like you: less dross and lower operation cost due to no inert gas is required. That is achieved, the dross generation was modest and t

I am a user of an Ersa Versaflow 3/45. I was wondering if anyone could share some process pointers. I have a 0.125" multilayer PCB that I am having problems consistently achieving 75 percent hole fill on a mini-coax connector. The coax connector ha

We do a lot of these devices and I guess I am not familiar the term "Dry Solder". The QFN device is not designed to have a drain hole, but needs to have thermal vias to control heat in most cases. We have used every possible gnd pad design and modifi

Shear tests are [in my opinion] senseless. The shear stress you measure depends more on the shear rate and on the point where the force is applied than on the grain structure. When shearing a component, you not only apply shear stress, but also roll

We do in fact see a reduction in soldering defects, most especially wetting issues for both parts and PWBs, tombstones, billboards, etc... As a CM we see all kinds of customer furnished material, some of it not in the greatest condition. Our best p

Hi, it is a not given clear here. I will tell you some basics about the profiling: 1. Profile stages A. Preheat - the board preheats from room temp to 130-150C depending on the paste B. Soak - 150-170(or other range depending on the paste). here th

I am having problems with LGA solder balls under the devices. Here are some of the details: 1. There are only 2 affected parts @4 locations. 2. The parts are LTM4616EV#PBF and LTM4608AEV#PBF. 3. We are using a ramp soak spike profile. 0-100secs=r

Quad didn't go out of business because they made stellar machines, but if you are running the same board all day long, you can get it dialed in where it's repeatable and reliable. Spares aren't expensive (at least by comparison)and there are lots of
