Hey Chunks, Come APEX time, I'd like to see your, uhm, "credentials" (*(wink* *wink*). Of course we still need to hit that Karaoke bar!

Consider calling used equipment suppliers. Often, they keep the manuals for equipment in a "library" because they're unsure if they will get a manual with the next piece of that equipment they buy to resell. So then, they can make a copy to go with t

We are planning to purchase two new reflow ovens. I would like to take an unofficial reliability survey. Could you list your reflow oven model / age (yrs) / number of unplanned maintenance events in the last year? Example: BTU VIP98/2001/8

VIP 98, I believe that's a 7 zone if I can remember 6 years ago. Try 150, 165, 200, 235, 235 and 235 (top and bottom temps) with a belt speed of 35 inches per minute. This should get you in the ball park depending on the size of your board.

Hello everyone; I was wondering if anyone has/knows where to get, VIP98 FCU calibration procedure. I know its a long shot but need to calibrate a few ovens and we�d like to see if its possible to do this in house, as we have a calibration lab.

I don't know much about BTU but we had a very similar problem with a Conceptronics and it turned out to be one of the 120V power supplies. Our machine had two of them (the same as you would find in any PC). Easy to test them although they can be fl

Does any body know how to change the inner width limit on a P-98 BTU oven? The inner limit is 6 inches, but I need it to be about 1.5 inches. Do you have to have a factory service disk from BTU to gain access to the limit. If so, does anyone have

Hi, Can anyone recommend a leadfree recipe for a BTU VIP98 i.e. which temperatures for which zones & belt speed? I appreciate that there will be a difference from one oven to another, along with different board sizes, but would like a good starting

Thanks for the advice. In this scenario we are designing our own product. Currently we are building at a prototype level with no appreciable wait between reflow passes. The part in question is a 64 pin QFP. We use a BTU VIP 98 with edge conveyor.

first, does the recipe have the heat and conveyor boxes checked? If no then it does nothing. second, have you pressed the round green switch? third, are there any alarms in the alarm box? Do you have a controller link fail? Verify the cable is p
