Just a comment on the Heller 1500. We had 3 at a previous workplace where we never made the Pb-free transition (this was early 2000's). The ovens we had were not designed for and were never used for Pb-free processing yet every one of them had all o

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

I only have experience with universal gsm machines; they are cheap and easy to run/maintain, and can place just about anything we use. We do 0603 smallest for our products but I think it could do 0402. They aren't the fastest and are dated, but for r

I also am a huge fan of Universal Machines for their reliability, capability and dependability. Very highly engineered machines. Only machine I hear better than them is Fuji. Apple and Motorola used Universal's extensively so it tells you how re

Opal Xii if it has the 8 head conversion. Much faster in real life than a 2060, and parts such as cards more readily available. Had both machines and much prefer the Yamaha built Assembleon badged machines. Both will do 01005. If you do go Juki th

Gotcha. Yeah, it has 8 heads. I think I'm going to go with it, seems like people like it more than the 2060. The package I'm getting comes with the following feeders: -15 CL8x2's -40 CL8x4's -8 12MM -4 24MM -2 Tray Holders

So after listening to many people's options and thoughts, I have decided against novastar. There is a reseller near my office that offers full support, training, and service on used equipment. They also fully refurbish all equipment beforehand. I no

We just use stare titanium stiffeners from the wave soldering area. Titanium is probably over-kill for your needs, but will work. Sources for titanium stiffeners are: * APT 603.622.1211 Tom Dimagio * New Era Technology 603.669.77971 Jessie Ward * B

I measured the temperature rise when I built the unit and it has a nice linear rise in temperature over the 3 minutes. I have used the Quikees before. The galcon gas stinks and must be evacuated. The galcon is expensive. The galcon is a perflourocar
