Actually cleaning of PCB's may see a resurgence with the lead free movement. Higher temps and more aggresive fluxes might need to be clean depending on your board and process. In addition Wave soldering solder pots (in some cases machines) may have t

Lead-free means expensive tin. Tin is an excellent solvent. So, metal parts in contact with molten tin must be expensive enough to resist that nature of tin. To learn more about this: * Search the fine SMTnet Archives * Look here: "Liquid Tin Corrosi

Other way around Dave. We decided that the Delta had more in common with the Electra rather than the Vectra, the Electra being much more expensive. For example, we wanted 3 preheat zones for lead free and this would mean an exernal fluxer unit if

Hi Glenda, I have 5 wavesoldering machines in stock. Electra, two Vectra's and Ultra Pak and a Sensby. I would be happy to work with you on your lead free application. We offer refurbished machines as well as lead free conversions for used wavesol

Hiram, We have just had the same decision to make! I was at Vitronics Soltec, Holland about 4 weeks ago doing trials for Lead Free. The Soltec Delta machine was ultimatly chosen over price verses performance. Both machines are very capable but

Great advice, all. Thanks much. I called on the Tribol 930 and there is now a blend called Tribol 1421 that is good for higher temps. Speedline recommends in place of 930 if you wish to do so. Might be something to consider for lead free stuff.

Sorry at the moment I do not have information but as usual I want to get some hands on sessions going. We were doing a flip chip workshop hands on session for Speedline last week in England. We did the theory and then hands on soldering and underfill

Having the last two zones at the reflow temp (spike) is typically done on long ovens (10 zone) running at high conveyor speeds. This enables you to achieve peak temp and TAL as per the solderpaste specs at high production rates. Concerning reverse sp
