Preheat is a option that we use on almost all boards. We have the pillarhouse jade models.

We are having difficulty with bridging on a 2x50 pin 0.050" fine pitch connector using our selective soldering machine. It usually bridges at the end of the row, but sometimes it bridges all the pins together as it drags across (solid bridging). I

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.

I think machine selection depends upon your application (pitch, volume, changeover from pb to pb free etc...) I have experience with ERSA and Pillarhouse Jades. Both very good in their own right. Pillarhouse are relatively cheap, and quick to chan

We have recently acquired a Pillarhouse Jade machine which has changeover pots from Pb Free to Pb and the bath it small so changeover heatup is fast . Although it's runtime is slow it seems to run the product well.We are also running an Ebso 400 but

I have been very happy with Pillarhouse. Exact model for you would depend a lot on batch vs inline. We are using the Jade Prodex.

We're using a Pillarhouse for all of our Pb free. JADE I believe is the model. Good little machine, pretty easy to program and maintain.

Hello, we are currently running no clean flux on our Jade model pillarhouse selective solder machine and i would like to switch the flux over to Water Soluable. Are there any concerens with running water soluable on these machines? I have heard tha

We are using Kester 985M in our Pillarhouse Jade. We only run SnPb, but this is a newer formulation of flux that is suitable for both lead and lead free alloys. Call the manufacturer of your selective soldering machine and get their advice. They ty

We also have a pillarhouse jade but opted for Kester 959T. The low solids content allows us to use a very small shot of flux thus resulting in low residue on the boards with great solder joints. Solderability is still good but had better results with
