Hi, Looking to generate some discussion on the merits of using the ERSA Versaflow inline selective soldering machine as a real alternative to wave soldering in sub 100 batch size low volume high mix production PCBA Production. I work for a tier 1 C

Hi, No we did not look at Pillerhouse, We were not particular fond of "moving the product" principle to selective (i.e using a gripper over a static nozzle), as often this requires pallets, and our sister plant had already completed testing which a

Hello, I work on the replacement on our old waves. The objective is to replace 6622C waves by full tunnel N2 waves, for the benchmark, I have selected 3 manufacturers : Ersa, Seho and Electrovert. What are your experiences with these manufacturers

Stephen, Bill, Thaks for your input. We are currently waiting for nozzles since the ones we have are badly oxidized. We do have a deoxidizing gel that we got from ERSA, not sure if it contains Adipic Acid, but it is what was suggested we used. Once

So others can solder the same board and part but you can't. Dipping the legs in flux doesn't help. Then it's either your pre-heat or wave. Measure your pre-heat and compare to others or flux mfger. Do you have chip wave or something like an Omega

We have an Ersa selective soldering machine here. We use the wire solder with the automatic feed. We dross and clean the pot roughly once a week. You can tell when it needs it by looking at the solder fountain. We do the nozzle at the same time. We c

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

Christopher, It looks like you might be close to the solution for your problem because you mentioned that you can make the solderballing worse with lowering the preheat temp. This means that the preheating has a significant impact. I would suggest t

We have many Pillarhouse Jade Mark II's in our facility. Lately design engineers have taken a liking of huge ground planes in boards. Quite honestly with topside heaters some of these boards were impossible to solder. True you can preheat with the no

Re: preheaters, YMMV, but my limited experience with SS is that without preheat these things have very limited value, even with boards that are not what you would think are thermally challenging. With preheat they seem to be able to do anything you
