If you have some budget left over from buying the machine, contact the guys at Pentagon EMS. They build a bullet-proof wave pallet. They can make a board specific, for each assembly, or a generic-adjustable one that can be used for most boards. I can

We are a high mix/low volume shop (avg. lot size is about 60). Hand solder was a bottleneck, so we looked into selective machines. We purchased a Vitronics-Soltec mySelective and are very happy with it so far. Although it has a large footprint, ev

We're about to setup our own soldering process... I have some experience from the contract manuf industry. Types of solder processes: - tip soldering robot for low volume - Japan UNIX LASER soldering machine for high volume Questions: 1) Examples

Hi all, I'm having some troubles while trying to set up a wave soldering machine that was working just fine until a few weeks ago. The wave soldering machine is quite basic chinese made. It's 2 meters long, has spray fluxing and a short preheating

Here is some more info with regarding my Wave. 1. PCB .065" thick 2. leed length .20" (.135" protrution) I know this is high but we use many thousands and cutting each is not practical. 3. no clean flux by way of foam fluxer 4. wave machine is a HOL

Dear All We are using structural similar type of connector in A & B product with same set parameter in selective soldering machine but result in B product is not good. Observation – Plating on A product Connector terminal done on all 4 side But In

I estimate the costs about the same but we build in batches so the wave only runs a few hours a day. We do complex boards so I think its worth it plus you have to keep the machine awhile to recoup the investment in the new nozzles. If the market gets

hello guys ; we are using some standard selective wave soldering unit used in lined ; the drawback of a such machine is 1/the speed which is quiet low (the board is coming on position through the conveyor, then the head delivering the solder moves s

One of the things that I have found is the "benchtop/lab" type waves (Low cost) do not perform very well except on the simplest of products, they are lacking critical design elements such as adequate preheat length, laminar flow nozzle design, etc.
