We have a DEK 265 Horizon and it exhibits a problem with conveyor belts. When I power up the DEK and try to paste boards, it fails to initialize the conveyor. I have to go into Maintenance and select cycle boards on rails. This too fails, but when I

slowing-down the conveyor to allow the solder to heat these balls more. But that may not be the answer, because if the flux is exhausted, more heat will not help. Then if the flux is exhausted, the answer is to crank the belt. Two different answer

Check to make sure your conveyors are parallel. Also verify the the width to make sure the belts are supporting the board properly. Sounds funny, but I see this more times than anything else.

Elektrobit (JOT) makes a wave unloader you can use to put your board back onto an edge conveyor (if you are using just a belt on your oven now) and then place a FIFO or Mag Loader after that.

JOTs works well. Has built in coolers. Also realigns your boards back to an edge belt conveyor. Very well designed.

Check all your conveyor belts and clamping in your machines. You have to follow these boards through entire process to see where it is coming from, it could be happening at a hand soldering operation as well. Russ
