Are you using water based flux? Any preheaters on the SS machine?

Hi Pete, It is an alcohol based NC flux. The machine does have quartz preheaters. We are preheating to the temp specified by the flux. Thanks Chris

Ah, yes...the solvents. I'll bet with SS machines vs. WS machines there is way less dwell time at preheat so you don't evap enough solvents. Do any of these SS machines use force-convection preheats or are they and IR type?

Hi Taint, Both machines work OK. The big thing you may over look is pre-heat. Things like flux spatter/boil tend to come into play if you don't pre-heat. Change over, ease of programming, and service are also things to think of.

A recent thread regarding the ACE KISS equipment has me wondering if anyone is happy with their choice in selective equipment. I don't see much mentioned about Pillarhouse, Juki, ERSA and some of the others. We're currently debating whether to inve

I use adipic acid to clean our Ersa selective solder machine nozzles. Makes a huge difference and is quick and easy.

Hi Friends, My unit here requires a SMD / BGA rework system. Our team has to finally select from the followings :- Ersa , Martin , Finetech & Metcal. Can you please help us in sharing your experience in comparison to all. Thanks.

Check out ERSA's Ecoselect 350. You can have 2 solder pots in the machine. 1 for SN/PB and 1 for Lead Free. It's a little more than $ than the others, but its a production machine! Not a toy.
