CK, If the contact length with the wave is decreasing when decreasing the conveyer speed and visa versa you need to check the machines electrical or electronics something is very wrong. Contact length is determent by wave design, wave height, convey

I thought Contact Length refered to the travel distance the board stays in contact with the solder. I measured it using a tempered glass plate that also showed me if I had an even footprint of contact with the wave. By this definition, conveyor spe

There is no formula out there that chooses a model for low volume high mix. Every oven can manage the throughput, which leaves us with cost, servicing, flexibility and reliability. Ersa Pros: Longer heated length than the ovens I am comparing it t

IPC may help, otherwise there are many factors: Are the PTH clinched or straight? If straight, what length protrusion? What direction are the parts running thru wave? Is product on a pallet? Not to mention your soldering process: What type of mach

This has always been a big debate on what is better. Few things to consider before getting into number of zones. What is the throughput and cooling requirements? Throughput is a direct relation to length of heating zone. Longer heating length

Good ole contact cs-400. I worked at two different companies that had these machines, all I believe were E's except 1 C. One place had one and the other place had 4 of them. Dont take this personally, but thank god my current employer doesn't have a

Watch your dwell time especially if larger components. Problem is normally associated with lower temp as well as insufficient flux coverage with larger massed boards or ground planes. Try to hand spray a board to check that fluxer operation is OK. If

Small waves are fine, biggest problem is the little to no preheat length. This is reason that complex boards cannot be soldered without defects. They also do not handle thick PCBas very well either because of same issue. Most of these "benchtops"

On an ACE KISS machine we could program a drop in Z height to give a peel off angle after the component was soldered. Usually not necessary as the solder at the nozzle is falling away from the lead down the nozzle. If possible, we would program a fr
