Hiram, We have just had the same decision to make! I was at Vitronics Soltec, Holland about 4 weeks ago doing trials for Lead Free. The Soltec Delta machine was ultimatly chosen over price verses performance. Both machines are very capable but

We have a Delta Max (leaded) and a delta wave (lead free) and a soltec Selective solder. The software that runs the selective solder is much different than that of the wave machines. We have fitted our selective with a leaded and lead free pot to han

Hi, Thanks, and we are doing that today. After spending the day playing with all the usual things that used to work, we are focusing today on profiling and data to get things right. The only worry I have is did we get a wave that can handle this, a

Hi. I agree that the Soltec has weak, low-wattage preheaters, and also, the Soltec's fluxer is flippin' weak too. It doesn't do a good jab of atomizing the flux and getting good, huh-huh, penetration on the holes. I cranked up my Soltec's pressu

Grant, I beleive your problem may lie in the top side heater. Only 60% seems too little. I need to run my Soltec way past 60% to get top side wetting on larger part. You may want to have someone fix that. Perhaps Dr. Bocephus H good time budwies

On the Vitronics/Soltec Wave Soldering Machines, we have no problems with the hot air knife (called a "Select X De-Bridging Tool" by Vitronics). We have both Delta's and Delta Max's. We have used both air and nitrogen with no problems. When using a "

Other way around Dave. We decided that the Delta had more in common with the Electra rather than the Vectra, the Electra being much more expensive. For example, we wanted 3 preheat zones for lead free and this would mean an exernal fluxer unit if

Yes it's definately possible to have too much flux. You'll see a white residue film on the board. In the past we have had hipot issues cause of too much flux residue ,left on the boards. You defininately don't want to be using a no clean flux and sti

Flux: Getting enough- is the spray fluxer getting good through-hole penetration. Try cranking it up. Soltec spray fluxers are not really as good as Ultrasonic Systems or Sonotek ultrasonics or the new ServoJET, but should do the job. Also, try anothe

Hi, We have spent the day trying to profile our Vitroncis Soltec Delta C wave with the new SN100C solder, but having problems with the heavy pins on some BNC connectors we are using. We have Interflux no residue flux, and we are using palettes, whi
