Hi John, It's a good machine for it's price as long as it passes the longevity test, & yes Altus are a very good sales & service company, but it's not the answer to world hunger. What machines did you replace with this, and what did you trial it

Contax are not always the most responsive of companies in the UK. Besides, you get a lot more for your money with BTU Pyramax's or Vitronics Soltec and very good service.

I would look at Vitronics-Soltec such as the XPM 820 or even the 520. BTU also makes very nice ovens. The Hellers I used to use went through blowers every 6 mos. and both of them came it defective. You must have got lucky or I got unlucky. Russ

I'm currently using Electrovert Vectra's right now. They do really well. I was actually in New Hampshire last month looking at Vitronics Soltec's newest wave soldering machine too. I think they would be worth a look as well. Good Luck!

How about muffin fans.....30 or so dollars for a sleeved bearing fan (from vitronics)....when you can go to rodale and get the fans for around 15 or so dollars and you get the better ball bearing fans (that should have been used in the first place).

Feel free to email kerry@neainc.com. NEA Inc sells used parts for many of the Vitronics products as well as many other machines.

Let's play a game and see if anyone can guess the companies up for sale. My guess would be Universal and/or Assembleon. Did I win?

Hi, Perhaps you could call the guys at Soltec in Singapore, as we have dealt with them in the past, and they were very fast to help. Regards, Grant

I am experiencing issues with the chipwave of this machine. The solder is not smooth and looks very rippled. I have cleaned the system but with the same results. This condition is leaving me with no-solders. Anyone seen this. Also should the nitroge

So you are saying that, for a CHIP wave (not the smooth, laminar wave), but the CHIP wave, your expectation is to see "smooth" solder, and not ripply, turbulent solder. This is what you're saying, correct?
