Yes, doing the DoEs on your wave to achieve optimum settings that deliver the best results on your worst board is correct method. If not clear on the process, there are still wave solder process classes out there you can attend or hire in-house. If y

Russ, On both instruments, I ran them through the wave 20 times each using identical profiles and wave parameters, and then used statistical formulas to measure the variation and repeatability of each. I had these all in Excel, but that was around 1

I agree. Trim the leads before insertion, then raise the pot height. With the information given, this is most likely your solution. Our machine has a dam wall on the rear of the solder pot that raises the height on the solder pool. I would make sure

Thanks for the replies. The single missed lead is a bit odd - we usually have an entire area missed and that's due to the board not sitting properly in the pallet fingers. I figured in this case it was likely due to poor fluxing? We have always str

G'Day All, I have a couple of new Panasonic MSR's. Whenever I load a new program into the machine, I have to manually feed the first PCB onto the X/Y table to get it to run. After that, they run just fine. Panasonic is going to be in and they hav

UPDATE The reason for the board count in the wave when there are no boards is due to operators leaving racks with empty PCB slots. The input feed sensor is a little bit more in the center of the conveyor whereas the output feed is a slightly closer t

How to solder one zero ohm 0805 resistor to a PCB after it is mounted in it's plastic. The Panasonic "Soft Beam" would do it if money were not a factor. Is there a similar type of soldering station out there that may just bolt to an existing conveyor

Our old Trieber Wave Solder machine is needing it's conveyor chains to be cleaned. Does anyone out there have knowledge to share about dealing with this problem?

Glenn, There are both very good VOC-Free fluxes as well as alcohol based fluxes out there. This should be your primary focus if you are so lucky as to have to opportunity to actually select a flux! The use of nitrogen will benefit any no-clean pro

Pat, Try to run a glass plate (yeah I've used these before too), keep your wave pump speed the same, and slow down your conveyor speed. You will find the actual contact between molten solder and the 0.5" grids to be LESS vs. a faster conveyor speed
