We own two KISS 305 machines from ACE. Extremely happy with the machine. More so, with thier support. The support is the best from any vendor I deal with which is a critical part of our operations. Another thing is thier continuing R & D work. They

HEllo all, I changed a THERMOCOUPLE on my soldering pot. Now when I start the machine, pot shows 80C but it is over 300C. Any thoughts?

Is it the correct type of thermocouple? If it is designed for a K type and you put a J or T the reading will be lower. Also a bad connection can give a lower reading.

Thank you all. It was a bad connection. Everything is running fine. Happy new year to everyone! Emil

One of these ACE KISS machines. Very basic and simple to program. It is a great entry level machine. However, accuracy and repeatability not the same compared to the big expensive machines.

I am using AIM Electropure SN63/Pb37 Solder, & AIM NC266-3 Flux; just like what ACE recommends. I have both Ultra High Pure T-Tanks and a Cryogenic Dewar Tank for Nitrogen, and neither seems to have improved the problem. I place a piece of tempered

We have 2 ACE machines running 2 shifts per day, 6 days a week. Maintenance costs have been minimal. Performance very consistent. Great machines for the $$. Certainly not complex. Hence the K.I.S.S. logo. I don't have any experience with the "big

I looked at the Kiss104 and the SPA-400 at the SMTA show in Orlando. I spent an hour with the ACE rep, and walked away totally confused as to how the machine is programmed. I spent 10 minutes with the rep from APS Novastar, and using their Photoscan

If you want an inexpensive, good, somewhat dedicated, solution, then I would use a desktop wave pot like Wenesco or better yet Air Vac. The PCBRM10 or PCBRM12 from Air Vac may still be available. Can find on Ebay also. They have a quick change, pr
