Problem was bad FCU board; replaced with FCU from another machine and swapped rom chips. Oven operates properly and communicates with PC. BTU was kind enough to supply the default usernames and passwords for wincon but they did not work. Still waiti

Can anyone shed any light on the Speed configuration setting on a BTU VIP70? We're using Winconv2.4a if that matters. There are only 3 editable fields in the configurator, Pulses per unit - Power - Distance. I'm struggling to find out what constitu

BTU - "WTF" We don't like them at all. We have no problem to set the profiles, it is a matter of fact that they are just perfect for that. The boards are just perfectly soldered. But - the their support sucks Big time! Or the lack of support! We are

Stephen has a good point. You could buy a used oven. I know of several used ones that are completely refurbished for about 15-25K. But these are BTU P-70's and P-98's. The main problem here is frequency. Most of their ovens operate at 50 or 60

Loco- I was expecting such a response. Look...my point is this....the reflow oven is the most simple piece of equipment on the floor. I can't imagine having to call in BTU repeatedly if it is a fairly recent vintage oven. Plus it sounds like Kris mi

Can someone explain the difference between solder "fines" and solder balls? Is there an official specification where "fines" are defined? What is the spec for "fines"? I consider "fines" individual unmelted metal spheres that are found in solder
