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

I am looking for data / info on how flux may contaminate the solder in a Wave. I have a customer who requires a no clean process. Our wave is equipped with 2 separate fluxing systems and I would like to use OA in one and the No Clean in the other. Th

I think OA flux left on the pot would quickly looses its activity and become part of the dross waste stream, and smoke stream for that matter. Also, if your wave is setup properly your selective pallets will scour (push) the top of the lambda wav

If you add any "flux cored" wire solder to the pot make sure you have ventilation as the flux will burn off and smoke like crazy. This solder pot is like any used in a wave or selective solder, no flux. The flux is added to wire prior to di

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

Hi, I purchase a leadfree aven solder pot 300w. We are wanting to pre tin power and ground wires prior to soldering onto pcb. I have some anti-erosion flux cored wire solder from koki S03x7Ca-70m 1.6mm. Can this solder be used? If not what is t

I have never added anything but bar solder to a solder pot so I have no experience with adding flux cored wire, but I have to imagine that it would smoke like crazy and gum up the sides of your crucible before you ever touched a wire to it. We use

I have a 5lb roll of .125" flux core 63/37 solder that I want to melt into a solid slug. Can this be done without making a huge mess and lighting something on fire ?

The "Wave optimizer" is a little pricey but is easy to use, gives instant feedback (display on the unit as opposed to hooking it up to a computer)and will give feedback on the waves, as well as preheat. They will send you a unit to trial for a week o
