Forget all the bickering and semantics. EVERYONE IS RIGHT!! ...but then again, in soldering, there IS no right, wrong, or indifferent... just blame. :-) Soldering is, after all, the most difficult process with the most opportunities for defects.

hi, I am experiencing a problem with our wave solder machine where zone 2 (forced convection) fan will not work when called upon. so we swapped it with zone 3 to make sure the motor was not at fault and it wasn't so we moved the A1 into a different 2

I think what Chunks meant is... TOOLING = THOSE POTS So basically, if some of your SMT or Through-Hole parts move around via a redesign or a respin, you will incur tooling costs (TOOLING is "THOSE LITTLE POTS FULL O' SOLDER.") When you're research

We have a Vitronics mySelective machine (model 6749, or "the Fat Bastard" as we affectionately call it). It's configurable with various combinations of "select wave" and "multi wave" pots. Ours has one of each. The "select wave" is for the most pa

Dear all, As we know there is a high risk of reliability issue due to lead contamination during mixture of NLF component at LF wave soldering process. But we have the following feed back from one of our customer as follow: Concerning the risk of m

What do you think about optimal setup for 8-hour working shift and 16-hour standby time. What is the most energy efficient setup for standby time? Complete cooldown or maintaining temperature in solder pot?

We picked up this old (circa late 80s) Seho 1135 machine last year for next to nothing. It needed a bit of TLC to bring it back to working order but it's 99% working now. The only problem left is that we cannot get sufficient height from the delta wa

Hi, 1. do not use flux-cored wire- the smell is bad and flux will evaporate anyway at the time of solder wire melting. 2. as suggested use solder bars, something like this: https://smtnet.com/company/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_company&company_id=39635

Having an issue with tracking for the Vitronics Soltec Delta 3. Wave will not give error on "expected PCB at exit" but will still show 1+ pcb's in the wave when the machine is empty. This is causing solder pump to idle unnecessarily. Outfeed sensor i

I would still focus on the sensors first. Experiment and see if they are really registering correctly. Still might be a sensor malfunction, timing issue(enough time to register)or some actual debree on it that prevents it from changing state properly
