has anyone used the small heller 988 reflow? If so what is your opinion of this machine.. is it comperable to the larger heller with a slower rate? i am looking for a small straight forward reflow for a thin, single sided project but i will dedica

Greg: Heller 988s are good, solid, basic reflow machines that will turn paste liquid for 85-90% of all applications. I'm not sure what you mean by "is it comperable to the larger heller with a slower rate?" But, yes it will need to be run slower t

Here are some 5 zones models to look for: Electrovert OmniFlo5 Conceptronic HVA70 BTU VIP70 Vitronics SMR or XPM 520 Heller 1088 (4 zone)

The 1500 is rated for up to 300c. So it shouldn't have a problem with lead free right? http://www.petlock.com/data/Heller_1500_specs.htm

We found the blowers were usually fine, but the capacitors strapped to the blower motors were failing. They were under $5 each from Digi/Mouser/Allied/RS. Worth keeping a few around. Last place had 12 Hellers including a 1500 doing ROHS with no is

I am most familiar with Heller (10 yrs. of 1088 4 zone - 1800 8 zone ovens) and find them to be very reliable. Other Manufacturers may have five zone ovens on the used market. (I used Petlock as an example because you could get data sheets/specs from

I would really suggest staying away from novastar on their ovens- we had a really bad experience with two of their ovens being unable to maintain temperature properly. We ended up buying a used BTU VIP70 and it has been working out great. A Heller 18

I would reccomend at least a 8 zone system when doing RoHs. Most of the better systems (Vitronics, heller, BTU, ETC) built since 2006 should be able to run the higher temps for Pb Free. Should be a lot of them on the market world wide (used) with l

We have been using a Heller 1707EXL (7 zones + 1 cooldown zone) for lead free (ROHS) soldering since 2007 with good results. I wouldn't go any lower than 7 heat zones though. If I may brag a bit....The IPC-7095 revision C standard was released a fe
