I got some info about it last year. I could not justify ROI since this machine was way too expensive (same thing with Vitronics Selective machines). You need to see if this machine will increase your throughput or not depending on your products. Al

We are using our selective solder machine to solder a backplane with sixteen (16) 4x48 pin 0.080" connectors. Our first pass yield is about 85% meaning that 85% of the connectors come out with no bridges. Not quite as fine pitch as your connector a

Also check out the Rhythm from RPS. We have been using a Rhythm selective solder machine to do what you are talking about for several years now.

Hello All, We have a small selective solder machine from RPS, a Rhythm SS, purchased used with SN100C in pot. For a couple of years we have used this machine and gotten good results. We have been adding SN995 to the pot as it needed more solder. Then

On TH parts we have been hand soldering. This last summer we purchased a Rhythm selective solder machine from RPS automation. I did a factory tour of both RPS and ACE since both facilities are about 1/2 mile from each other. In comparing the 2 c

On a small, single stage RPS machine I was going through a dewar (not sure on the capacity differences between what you're using and a dewar) every 6-9 business days running normal 8 hours shifts. Side note, I'd suggest trying out SN100C alloy over

It was a nitrogen delivery issue. I used a funnel (silicone) to direct the nitrogen to the board. The way the machine operates is, the nitrogen comes out about 7 cm away from the board, from a large opening around the nozzle. I cut a silicone funnel

Lead nozzles last longer than lead-free nozzles. Our lead-free nozzles typically last 9-12 months but we are only running an average of 15 hours per week on a RPS Rhythm system using SN100C solder.
