Hi, I just saw the new NXT machines at globaltronics in Singapore, and mostly they are faster. However what was interesting is Fuji shows a prototype of the new XPF machine, but it was called XPF-W which handles really large PCB's and uses the sam

Hi Joris - There is an excellent wave solder guide called "Take No Prisoners" that includes instructions for attacking and eliminating solder balls and preventing their recurrence: 1. Increase Dwell Time Solder balls are normally caused by too much f

Lot's of good discussion in this string...but I think we've missed a few points. First off...turret machines are more than capable of handling the smaller component sizes (in fact, they are the best)...Machines like the SANYO TCM-3000 or Universal 47
