Agreed, I just bought a Electrovert Vectra Elite and have been very pleased with it thus far. I got the dual pot option for lead free changeovers and that has worked great. I can change pots in under 5 minutes, not counting the time to warm up.

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

I estimate the costs about the same but we build in batches so the wave only runs a few hours a day. We do complex boards so I think its worth it plus you have to keep the machine awhile to recoup the investment in the new nozzles. If the market gets

We did a tin bath on ours but it was provided for free by Nihon Superior so that is a no-brainer. It was better than taking a risk of having to dump the pot. If you cant get a free tin bath, then you should probably go ahead and fill it half way or s

We have a dual pot machine. The fluxer is not the slowest part of the process on most boards. However, we looked at running boards that had many hundreds of TH leads that we currently run through the wave in order to try not to buy a wave for lead-fr

I have been running a Vectra wave all week. I have been doing a lot of investigating in to the software of this machine. There are many options. I have accidently turned off the board count that displays the boards across the piture of the wave on

I read my posting again, and it didn't sound right....what I meant was slow down your conveyor speed BY .5 to 1 FPM. So, if you're running @ 4 FPM, slow it down to 3.0 to 3.5 FPM.

We have an Ersa Powerflow N2. It's a very well built machine with excellent support. We run it (2) 10 hr shifts per day, 4 days a week. Having the full nitrogen tunnel has greatly reduced dross and improved hole fill. This replaced an Electrovert Vec

Which wave solder flux are you using and what types of preheaters did you have on both your old econopak and your new vectra? From my past experience, an alcohol-based flux does NOT work well with Convection style preheaters....the flux burned off t

We are considering retrofitting our Vectra wave soldering machine with a hot air knife. I've run our problem board on a machine with this option and it does seem to work; however, there is a concern of component failure due to thermal shock. Is thi
