Just thought of something while on the beach. We made a paste change several years ago when we installed another surface mount line. At around that same time, our maint. crew changed chain oil and about 2 months later changed when they oiled the ch

Good Morning SWAG, We have had similar problems with our Heller 1800 EXL's when the chains would build up oil and debris. The only way we could get them clean was to put them into a self cleaning oven and carbonize the residues. We then rinsed them

G'day, I am interested in hearing about the automatic lubrication of the chains in a reflow oven. The systems I have seem to work to a certain degree. They either lubricate too much, so we end up getting oil on the edges of the PCB, or not enough, w

We have an OmniFlo 7, 2000 vintage reflow. We are having conveyor problems. I checked the encoder and speed control board and everything is good per tech. manual operations. We removed the chains a couple months ago and thoroughly soaked/cleaned t

Auto chain oiling is a must have feature in my opinion. You can't have too many heating zones! More zones allows more finesse in your profiles.

Hi Everyone What lubricants do your maintenance people use for the chains in your Reflow ovens? The manuals for our ovens have one recommendation - but I am always open to other people�s experiences and recommendations. Another option may be easie

With oven temps rising due to Lead-Free Processing, I'm looking for some information on high temp Reflow Oven lubricants. I've found some info in the Fine SMTnet Archives on Chain Lubricants, (Mostly Synthetic Motor Oils), but I'm wondering what othe

As you have seen, the 1088 doesn't need much in the way of P.M. We recommend: --Monthly vacuuming in the base and under the hood (ie Dust Bunny control) --Lubricate Edge Hold Conveyor Chain and leadscrew (if the Edge Hold Conveyor option is installe

Hi Marc I too have been using a fully synthetic Motor oil on Heller reflow ovens for a number of years. In our case Mobil 1 5W-50. We have a field failure problem with some 1% resistors under conformal coating where sulphates are dissolving the si
