I've
been talking to the fellows at ACI/EMPF and we have decided we would like to
form a users group for the MUST System II Wetting Balance.
I
guess what I would like to see would be the following:
1)
Have multiple sources of advice for little problems
2)
Share info on the test parameters for new and/or weird parts. For example,
how do you hold a 0201 in a clip made for 0805's? How do you hold a
thumbwheel?!! How deep do you immerse some of these wonderfully designed
components that only have solderable surfaces on the vertical side of the
part! GRRRRRR! I think you get the picture.
3)
Champion using globule testing as opposed to a full solder bath
dip.
4) Act
as resource for the IPC 5-23a Task Group (J-003) and IPC 5-23b Task Group
(J-002), if Dave Hillman and company are willing to have us. :)
5)
Apply persuasion, if it becomes necessary, with regards to service as the
Multicore/Loctite/Henkel transition continues.
Note, anyone is of course able to form
a similar group for other wetting balances and we aren't making any claims one
way or the other here about the equipment in question.
So, if you are interested, phone or e-mail
me.
