| | | | | | | | | | | | Any suggestions on how to maintain Adhesive dispensing nozzles??? They seem to plug up over night and it is starting to get on my nerves. We have tried leaving the nozzles in the machine, removing them and soaking in alcoh

If the world was a perfect place, I would recommend preventing solder balls in the first place. While low amounts of solder balls are common, a high volume of solder balls are problematic to a cleaning machine (batch or inline). Solder balls may beco

I am new to wave soldering. Any information is greatly welcomed. Here is the problem. After soldering the boards they have a film on the bottom of them and sometimes a white powder looking substance. I have tried decreasing the amount of flux on

We have the opportunity to buy a new selective solder machine and are used to using a very old Jade machine with a moving tank and wetted nozzle. I have two process concept questions: Which is better- move the board over the nozzle or move the nozz

We run Zipatec 460's also. I presume that you are running Nitrogen? We have found that if the Nitrogen flow rate is too high into the conical nozzle collar it can be sufficient to disrupt the smooth flow of the solder as it runs down the wettable o

I have no experience running a "move the board" selective solder so can not compare the 2 methods..... We have been using an RPS Rhythm "move the pot/nozzle" system since 2008. We are using it solder thru hole components onto boards that often have

Iron huh? You sure about that? We have the ERSA Versaflows and our nozzles are made out of ST37 Tool Steel. There is an "American equivalent" to this grade but I forgot what it is. You'll have to google it like I did. Anywho, Tin or Tin-Lead sold

Chunks, We have custom nozzles here in Riyadh that are designed to solder through-hole with SMT 0805 R's and C's just 0.5mm away. ERSA charged an arm and a leg for these, so I buy them from my toolmaker, Asadulah , for half the price. They come in

GR@ICS, can you be more specific about your up in the Ersa machine please? Nozzle size, pump rate (%), and is your machine equipped with monitors on the solder pots? We have the same machine it sounds like, however we run Pb-Free in both pots. I
