Hi everyone, We just picked up an old VIP70 oven and it is in need of more maintenance than we were told when we bought it so I'm working on a few issues. The main thing right now is linking the FCU controller to the PC. I've tried using both seria

This is a long shot, but can anybody advise on the supplies for a BTU oven. It is currently in the UK and is supplied by a 415V 4 wire. That is 3 phases and a neutral. We need to ship it to our plant in Mexico where they have a 480V 3 wire supply.

Thanks for all the responses. BTU has now informed that the reason it is so expensive is the oven heaters need completely rewiring and some work in the transformer area etc is required. Also, we have to pay for engineering work for them to know wha

Kris- You obviously need to become more self-sufficient if you are struggling to keep your reflow oven up and running. Reflow ovens are too simple to repair to get freaked out over them. It's not always the vendor's fault when the customer doesn

:o You wouldnt happen to have shares at BTU, Fastek? What you are replying is just what Kris was talking about. I wouldnt take it either. Customer service should be very important for any company. Imagine a broken oven, company coming to a stand

one of my customers with a BTU VIP 70 has the following settings, 100 / 175 / 210 / 250 / 265 with conveyor speed of 18 ins per minute. They get a peak temp of 240~245C and time above liquidus of 220 C is @ 55 secs. Built in thermocouples should give

Found a broken wire in the data line and I thought that was it for sure but was not. Checked continuity of the data cable and it is ok now but still no comm. The embedded controller status window shows "send failures" but no "reply failures." Winco

I would really suggest staying away from novastar on their ovens- we had a really bad experience with two of their ovens being unable to maintain temperature properly. We ended up buying a used BTU VIP70 and it has been working out great. A Heller 18

No electrical schematic sadly - and there is no sign of a connector under the mounting hole, so I'm guessing that it's never had this function. The actual light tower on it looks remarkably similar to a DEK printer one, so there's a chance that the
