We use both types in house. We started with a board moving over the pot, slowly moved on to Jade machines and eventually Synchrodex. Like you mentioned without palletizing you'll have component movements during the cylce and most likely won't have th

This has already been done. Companies like Seho Selective Solder machines can provide this service. I imagine it is not cheap. I'd be curious to compare the drop rate of parts per person per hour on a couple of Pillarhouse Jades vs on custom machine.

We have the opportunity to buy a new selective solder machine and are used to using a very old Jade machine with a moving tank and wetted nozzle. I have two process concept questions: Which is better- move the board over the nozzle or move the nozz

Thanks for all the remarks. I am tending toward the move the pot method. I am concerned about parts tilting from square if moved or held at an angle. I won't need to deal with board pallets, board clamp mechanisms, etc. Plus I found the moving board

We are having issues with top fill and dropping pins on Molex connectors with our KISS 101. Unfortunately we do not have a pre heater and bottom side pre heat with our nozzles is not satisfactory. Most of the issues occur when using a no clean proces

HOW THICK IS THE BOARD? IS THERE A LOT OF COPPER IN THE BOARD? DOES YOUR CUSTOMERS PROVIDE HEAT RELIEF IN THE BOARDS BARREL DESIGN THERE NEEDS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LEADFREE SOLDER TO FLOW, DID YOU CHECK YOUR PIN(LEAD)TO HOLE (BARREL) RATIO? N

On our Pilarhouse Jade we use nitrogen to cool the belt that drives our solder pump as well as keep the amount of oxygen to a minimum in our solder pot to reduce dross.

For me it looks like a sales issue. Having more operators would probably not help them meet their metric. If you cannot meet or defeat a metric, switch metrics. (said tongue in cheek)

For me it looks like a scheduling issue. You can do time studies on your assemblies and predict the best workload, based on scheduling the jobs in the right sequence. Also it sounds like you have only one operator. Train more people to operate will h

We have several selective soldering machines, that because of several minutes of process time per PCB, one operator can keep 2 or sometimes 3 machines loaded and running. Other days only 1 machine is running but operator does not have enough time to
