There are several ways to do this, if you are doing large volumes the best way is to use Titanium Finger Masks. You can have them custum made or if you are lucky one of the standard sizes will fit. They slide over the fingers to protect them through

If your looking for a small footprint at lower cost a Zevetech 575 or Quad 4c should do a good job for you. If your boards get more complicated or you go down to fine pitch, 402's, BGA, you may need to look at a newer technology. We just went throug

Dave is correct in that the Zevatech is actually a Juki. Made by the Japanese Juki and labeled by the Swiss Zevatech. The PM 575 is somewhat vintage. I believe it may be all mechanical component centering. It may be OK for the 20mil fine pitch but ma

G'day, I am interested in hearing about the automatic lubrication of the chains in a reflow oven. The systems I have seem to work to a certain degree. They either lubricate too much, so we end up getting oil on the edges of the PCB, or not enough, w

We just use stare titanium stiffeners from the wave soldering area. Titanium is probably over-kill for your needs, but will work. Sources for titanium stiffeners are: * APT 603.622.1211 Tom Dimagio * New Era Technology 603.669.77971 Jessie Ward * B

I work for a small OEM. We have outsourced our SMT in the past and considering purchasing some used SMT equipment. My knowledge is limited in this area. Someone in my company has found a Zevatech 575 machine. Our run size is from 25pcs.to 500pcs.

If you are not washing and want to stay with a peelable mask the two basic types are vinyl and latex. Although we've seen some silicone and urethanes, they cost more. * Do not use latex peelable solder mask with a low residue soldeing process withou

Yes Rick, you are correct, Zevatech HBA, PPM7 & > PPM9 were all designed and built by Swiss. That > was a long long time ago. Sorry, I guess I forgot about those old beasts. Then don't forget about the good old CATs and Microns made by Zevatech

Thanks all for the advice so far. I'm definitely considering the 4C & the TP9-U. I've also seen a Zeva 575, Philips Eclipse, & Juki 720. These seem to be a little more expensive. Any feedback on these machines - is the extra expense worth it? How e
