I actually built a dual tank fluxer for my Econo-Pak once to handle the same thing. Not all that difficult if you're mechanically inclined. BUT, for your application I'd recommend just hand spraying the 1 to 4 boards a month with any flux they reco

I don't recall if the heater wattage is the same or not for the different pots. If the wattage is different then the PID algorithm is also different. this anticipated when & by how much the heater will overshoot its setpoint and turns the heater off

I am sort of familiar with Specnor Tecnic myself from work at a previous employer. Yes, they are a group that split of from Electrovert and actually compete with Electrovert in their spares market. Don't know how that's legal but they seem to be doin

Which wave solder flux are you using and what types of preheaters did you have on both your old econopak and your new vectra? From my past experience, an alcohol-based flux does NOT work well with Convection style preheaters....the flux burned off t

I tried MS2 for almost two weeks and I can see it works. MS2 is more a preventive tool rather than a solution to convert pour on top of the dross. Very important if you use this stuff is that you do the encapsulation of the wave, the bigger the surfa

SPC was a fad of the '80's and has been mis-used by the igonorant for decades now! Doing SPC on defects is a case in point. Hell I implemented wave SPC programs before eating breakfast at 2 previous companies, and they worked great..resulting in 25

Howdy Bolos, My question to you is why do you feel the need to buy new equipment? We've changed over our processes to lead free and used our existing equipment. Heller 1500 (5 zone convection reflow) Electrovert econopak (wave solder) Honestly we hav
