what type of preheater does the novastar use and what temp. is it set on? I am also use to a hollis wave solder machine. Old and crude but works great.

Necoleta, PWB Blistering/De-lamination may not be due for Titanium finished threads / holders which is typically being used to draw high Shelf Life of Pallets and even flow across Auto Wave Soldering rails. There is also nothing to suspect on Liquid

Look to: * Your flux supplier's recommendations to baseline your recipe [similar to using your paste supplier's recommendations for setting your reflow recipe] * 7530 'Guidelines for Temperature Profiling for Mass Soldering (Reflow and Wave)' for gui

radiant heat. 137c The hollis was a great machine. The one I had the prehead wass on or off there was no setting. The pot temperature guage was brocken so I had to guess and manually turn the heater on and off. The whole machine was covered with 1 i

The spray bottle puts more flux on the board but I am not sure how to measure ? I just got the Novastar 12S and its very difficult to set up. When I fix one problem another one show up. When I do get good results I dont make changes and then after a

I am using a Novastar 12S solder wave with Kester water soluable fux 22-2425. I have used this for years without problems on an old Hollis machine. Just started using the Novastar and after fine tuning I get itermitten bridging on the front of the P

We are going through the motions of acquiring and setting up a new to us wave solder machine. My question, is any utilizing a solder/flux containment pan or other type system beneath the wave to help keep areas around the wave solder machine cleaner

I've been in shops with a flux containment pan under the wave fluxer. While I'd rather see excess flux in a containment pan than on the floor, but I'd prefer to see flux applied precisely to eliminate the need for either using a containment pan or cl

I agree with RealChunks. The application of any of these "wave solder process control tools" is dependant on how the shop is run. At some shops, PM is inconsistent and slacked off on. At other shops, there is no technical expertise at the operator
