Out of curiousity... What is the benefit of the selective solder machine that does NOT have a moveable nozzel? I am curious since this can be accomplished using a wave pallet. Thanks

We have a Vitronics mySelective machine (model 6749, or "the Fat Bastard" as we affectionately call it). It's configurable with various combinations of "select wave" and "multi wave" pots. Ours has one of each. The "select wave" is for the most pa

I think what Chunks meant is... TOOLING = THOSE POTS So basically, if some of your SMT or Through-Hole parts move around via a redesign or a respin, you will incur tooling costs (TOOLING is "THOSE LITTLE POTS FULL O' SOLDER.") When you're research

so our annual solder drain and inspection lead us to discover holes in the ceramic paint covering the inner layer of our solder pot, looks like some of the finer layers of the ceramic are left behind still protecting the steel, thinking about repairi

I think OA flux left on the pot would quickly looses its activity and become part of the dross waste stream, and smoke stream for that matter. Also, if your wave is setup properly your selective pallets will scour (push) the top of the lambda wav

I am looking for data / info on how flux may contaminate the solder in a Wave. I have a customer who requires a no clean process. Our wave is equipped with 2 separate fluxing systems and I would like to use OA in one and the No Clean in the other. Th

Hey all, I'm looking for a place to get the solder from my wave flow tested, any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm sure this isn't the same situation, but we did have a selective solder machine with crazy dross and solder ball build up. Turns out the operator switched the low pressure nitrogen line used for solder level and the high pressure nitrogen line fo

Hello colleagues, I appeal to your expertise in this matter that has taken me by surprise. A week ago it was decided to change the solder brand for the wave machine, (only the brand, the alloy is the same). The pot was emptied and filled with the

If you're questioning their motivation for testing accurately, I'm sure they would *love* to sell you stuff to balance your alloy composition ratios or just replace all of your solder outright. IOW, I don't think you need to worry about them paddin
