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

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

On an ACE KISS machine we could program a drop in Z height to give a peel off angle after the component was soldered. Usually not necessary as the solder at the nozzle is falling away from the lead down the nozzle. If possible, we would program a fr

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 recently witnessed a process in which the solder pot operator used Techspray WSOL water soluble masking to cover the areas around a connector that was to be soldered on the solder pot. He did not wait for the WSOL to cure. He soldered immediately.

yeah we are getting quotes on a new solder pot, we have used that paint we tested a small sample of it with solder and it seems to be ok, we are doing a full solder alloy change in about two months so we will have a chance to inspect the solder pot a

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

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
