Hi. To add to your homework... 1) RPS are from the former team that developed the ACE KISS product line. 2) From brief chats, NORDSON is still building the last versions of the ACE KISS designs while RPS has continued to advance the tool. 3) Anoth

I am using AIM Electropure SN63/Pb37 Solder, & AIM NC266-3 Flux; just like what ACE recommends. I have both Ultra High Pure T-Tanks and a Cryogenic Dewar Tank for Nitrogen, and neither seems to have improved the problem. I place a piece of tempered

We have 2 ACE machines running 2 shifts per day, 6 days a week. Maintenance costs have been minimal. Performance very consistent. Great machines for the $$. Certainly not complex. Hence the K.I.S.S. logo. I don't have any experience with the "big

I looked at the Kiss104 and the SPA-400 at the SMTA show in Orlando. I spent an hour with the ACE rep, and walked away totally confused as to how the machine is programmed. I spent 10 minutes with the rep from APS Novastar, and using their Photoscan

If you want an inexpensive, good, somewhat dedicated, solution, then I would use a desktop wave pot like Wenesco or better yet Air Vac. The PCBRM10 or PCBRM12 from Air Vac may still be available. Can find on Ebay also. They have a quick change, pr

I do not know if you want selective wave soldering or selective point soldering? If you have good budget say, less than US$200k Vitronics is best for wave selective soldering. However, if you have low budget say less than US$100K I suggest ACE or K

My company is looking to purchase a new selective solder system. We're currently looking at the ACE KISS 205 and the ERSA Versaflow3. I am hoping to get some feedback from anyone who has worked with either of these machines or the companies themsel

We are currently using an ACE K.I.S.S. 104. We used SN100 solder with AIM NC265 flux (no clean, alcohol-based). Also, we use topside preheat at 100 degrees C and a 6mm nozzle (as big as we can go with this application). The PCB has a matte finish as

A recent thread regarding the ACE KISS equipment has me wondering if anyone is happy with their choice in selective equipment. I don't see much mentioned about Pillarhouse, Juki, ERSA and some of the others. We're currently debating whether to inve
