Novastar is JUNK, that is why you cannot get repeatable results. Check the conveyor rails, you will find they are warped. Novastar uses cheap, non-machined rails. Straight from china or india. Their stuff is garbage. Best to swallow the loss and star

radiant heat. 137c The hollis was a great machine. The one I had the prehead wass on or off there was no setting. The pot temperature guage was brocken so I had to guess and manually turn the heater on and off. The whole machine was covered with 1 i

We installed a fixed distance optical sensor above the conveyor rail and "wired it" throught he machines terminal bus to cut the pump on only when a board was present at the pot. We also installed a timer in line so the pump would only stay on long e

I can only say it looks okay for what you need, you will want a dual wave system it can make things so much easier. One thing to check would be the wave nozzle sizes I can see that the conveyor will do up to 15" but thats not to say the nozzle is

forgot to write, what config of machine do you have......? single or dual Pot / Highspeed.....?

We have 2 dual head Versa-flows in line. We use them mainly for doublesided reflow jobs that have connectors and axial parts. I have about 15 jobs currently running on them. The advantage of having 2, is some of our boards have through hole on 1 side

Thanks Cmiller & PR, I am warmed to hear others are doing this sort of thing.......like all inovative ideas, you often stumble into them. As far as im aware the ERSA dual Pot is the only machine avaiable on the market that can do this sort of thing

We have a dual pot machine. The fluxer is not the slowest part of the process on most boards. However, we looked at running boards that had many hundreds of TH leads that we currently run through the wave in order to try not to buy a wave for lead-fr

Charles: Here are a few possibilities you might want to check: 1) Conveyor width -- if the conveyor is too tight this will cause the boards to buckle as they go through the preheat section. We recently had this happen when we changed operators. 2

Watch your dwell time especially if larger components. Problem is normally associated with lower temp as well as insufficient flux coverage with larger massed boards or ground planes. Try to hand spray a board to check that fluxer operation is OK. If
