As we are a low volume shop, the extra handling is not too much of a concern. My biggest concern is if the flux sitting on teh board for a long time (few hours) is going to cause any problems in solderability. My thought is that it should not as it

Mike, If your wave solder machine doesn't have enough preheat capacity you can put the board in an oven and warm it part way before you put it into the wave solder machine. This works best with a spray fluxer, as a warm board will collapse the foam

There are a few variables that you have to consider : 1. Hours available on Wave Machine ( are other products going thru the same wave) 2. What beat rate are the boards being supplied from previous station?i.e. do you envisage the waveto be a bottl

Ok dave so yes your right I'm going to measure the heat capacity for each bank of lamps from 3 wave solder machines so I can try and match the output of each set of lamps so I can match teh machines. As a by product I'm hoping to use it to set up a l

My own personal "unwritten rule" has always been - no more that 3 times. Anymore than once, I'm not sure what the implications are. If you think about the mechanics of wave solder. It's around 200 Deg. F of preheat, and then immersed in 480 to 500

What you can do is perforate the board holding rim by drilling holes of 0.6mm (similar to via's). This will reduce the mass and heatsinking capacity, allow excess flux drainage and facilitate convection heat contacting the board through the holes. Th

I have used Mycronic MY500 & MY600 printers in the past. Wave goodbye to screens, it's really quick & easy to modify print programs, changes can be made and applied in 5 minutes instead of waiting 24 hours for a new screen. They print slower than a
