What is a smart way to determine that the solder in the wave pot is moving at the same speed as the board?

Jerry, If you�re sure your board has sufficient flux it must be that your slow flowing (single lambda) wave produces more oxides then the flux can handle. Due to the conveyer angle the front of the board usually has less flux then the back of the bo

Try to slow down your conveyor speed. This reduces contact length and improves the peel-back.

Dave, There is not really a �smart� or scientific way to check this but I know of easy ways and very effective ways. Fex. an easy way to check is with a 3� spatula, you hold the spatula at the same angle as the board and drag trough the wave simula

A little more information on your current wavesoldering process would be helpful in helping you. Information like what kind of flux your are using,how you are applying the flux,what preheat temps you are using,and your conveyor speed. Without knowing

Any lead free will eat a leaded designed wave soldering machine. But SN100c will eat it the slowest, our soldering tips used to only last 3 months with SAC305 when we changed to SN100c solder wire we are having around 9 months tip life. Our wave sol

Baking boards in a nonvalue added activity. Quit doing it!!! As a routine production activity, it is either: * Totally unnecessary ... OR * Band-aid to cover for problems in fabrication, purchasing, or storage methods. Search the fine SMTnet Archi

In order to service your wave solder machine safely, the following needs to be understood. Ladling dross out of the machine and putting it in into a coffee can or similar is not safe and puts operators and other employees at risk. Protecting the se

We've got lots of connectors at my place of employment like this. What I do is... I run these "slower than molasses in January" - we're talkin' 2 Ft/Min. conveyor speeds. Obviously this will have an effect on your thermal profile so compensate acco

Hi Steve, What I came up with for our Soltec Sigma 6621 is to make a stainless steel wave solder bath insert.The insert with all its components eg. impeller, Chipwave assy, pump shafts, main wave assy etc. I will send for plasma nitride coating.Afer
