Lozie We built our own soldering robot using pace soldering irons but we have considered a Apollo Seiko bot for a different facility. I'm curious to know what kind of life you get out of those Apollo Seiko irons with lead-free solder. How many solde

I love my Pace ST-30. Not too expensive and works a charm. Tips are also reasonable at $6-$15.

Take a look at Pace and Metcal both have quick recovery irons that are good for lead free applications. Also try a preheater to warm the boards prior to solder. D. David McGee Mfg. Eng. Gaston Electronics 704-822-5031 Phone dmcgee@gastonelectronics.

Deon, my first response is YES - big time. You are correct that there are some massive issues here. For one thing, lead free solders are only one solution, as conductive epoxy has also been put forward. This was demonstrated on the TAC line at Ne

Concerning your desoldering equipment, we have made major improvements to prevent solder clogging on PACE Solder Extractor handpieces. Replacing the venerable SX-80, the new SX-100 (and SX-90) Solder Extractor has been improved so that is does not cl

Unlike Solderpro, I'll admit I'm just a bit biased towards PACE's new ADS200 High Powered Professional Soldering Station. Up to 120 Watts of pure power in an inexpensive, all metal package ($239 in the US), as powerful as a Metcal, JBC and Hakko, yet

The response from SolderingPRO is quite amusing, considering he's the OWNER of Promation, distributor of Quick soldering irons in the US. By the way, Quick is a cheap, Chinese knockoff brand that has virtually no support in other countries other than

I own a metcal for the high precision work 1500$ in 1992 tips $60 in 1992 and have only used one tip in all that time, have horses holves for large pin devices, precision points for 0402 and a largest tip for service work. Also have Hakkos for bulk

Since when is Hakko putting more plating on their tips? I was told that there was no change to their tips, it was the same tip for Pb or Pbfree. Prior to first use, all Hakko tips are Pbfree. We have been seeing those tips degrade quicker with Pbf
