Hello, I want to hear some experience about selective soldering for PCB using nozzle plate and screens Do you have solder defects? bridges and insufficient soldering? How do you combat that? and about the screens you have good quality? What is the f

Check flux penetration and type of flux. How much is solid contents. The solder filling is better under Nitrogen. Check the time (speed) of the nozzle whether is correct. Usually For SAC305 the temperature of bath is 320C/degrees, but only for sel

I am doing lead free testing on a Vitronics selective machine with a 4 mm nozzle. The finishes I am testing are ENIG, ImSn, and ImAg. The problem I am encountering is achieving good top side wetting. Has anyone had any luck with this type of an ap

We have an Ersa and an Ace machine. The Ersa is made for bigger volumes of boards. Programming is longer/harder and not as user friendly. If your running 100 boards or less.....the Ace is the way to go. If you need flexibility the Ace is better.

That's weird, I've never had any problems using the tool while the pot is up to temp. Over-tightened? They don't need to be tightened too much when putting them in.

I have had a couple like this. It almost seems like they are not threaded correctly. I had to mangle the last one just to get it off.
