        Another reason for this problem is that the composition of the solder wire used throughout the production, processing, and manufacturing process changes, resulting in excessive residue and the need to add pure tin or replace the solder wire. Spot printed laminated glass undergoes changes in the physical state of chemical fiber layers, such as separation between layers. But this type of situation is not due to poor spot welding. The reason is that the base steel plate is too hot, so it is necessary to reduce the heating and soldering wire temperature or increase the driving speed of the base steel plate.  In general, the solder wire of the module half hole PCB board appears dark gray, but sometimes there are orange spot welds. The key reason for this problem is that the temperature is too high, and only lowering the temperature of the tin furnace is sufficient.  Due to the structure of the PCB itself, it is very easy to cause harm to the module's half hole PCB board when exposed to

        The short circuit fault of the module half hole PCB board is one of the common problems that immediately cause the module half hole PCB board to not work. There are many reasons for this type of problem, and everyone will analyze it one by one below.  1) The main reason for PCB short circuit faults is the poor design of the solder pad. In this case, it is possible to change the circular solder pad to an elliptical shape, increase the spacing between points, and avoid short circuit faults.  2) Inappropriate design solutions for PCB component orientation can also lead to short circuit faults on wooden boards and prevent them from working properly. If the foot of a SOIC is parallel to the tin wave, it is very easy to cause a short circuit fault accident. At this time, the orientation of the part can be adjusted appropriately to make it perpendicular to the tin wave.  3) There is also a probability that it can lead to a common fault of PCB short circuit, which is fully automatic softwa

    The influence of suction nozzle on SMT installation rate

    Sep 18,2023

        The SMT installation rate is very important for PCB companies. It can be said that many people are concerned about the SMT installation rate because it not only affects the processing cost of the production line, but also affects the operating speed of the workshop. Today, the editor will introduce to you the impact of suction nozzles on the SMT installation rate!  The suction nozzle is also another important factor affecting the installation rate, which can be caused by both internal and external factors.  1: On the one hand, the internal reason is insufficient vacuum negative pressure. Before removing the parts from the suction nozzle, the mechanical valve on the installation head will automatically switch from blowing to true adsorption, resulting in a certain negative pressure.
