My most recent blog topics have had to do with Wave Soldering Machine Components, but statistics is also something that interests me. Have y...
My last post was about the benefits and disadvantages of using a platen or hot plate preheater in wave soldering. There are many different kinds of pr...
I mentioned, in my last post, that preheating is needed to decrease wave soldering cost. With trying to decrease the cost of the wave soldering proces...
Many of my posts have been discussing the different types of wave soldering fluxers: th...
My last two posts (1) (2) have been about the different facets of spray fluxing and the systems......
No matter how accurate the spray fluxer is there will at least be some flux that is not deposited on the board that needs to be removed from the syste...
Patty was just getting ready to leave her office for a bi-weekly luncheon with the Professor, Pete, and Rob. They had regular meetings like this...
The total loss system is a method of applying spray flux that utilizes the minimal amount of material to properly create a satisfactory solder joint. ...
Spray Fluxing is the most common way to flux a printed circuit board today. When spray fluxers were first developed they were clumsy, inefficient......
When the wave soldering machine was developed, the early flux application method was the same as the solder application method – a wave. While t...
