We been using the ERSA for a couple of years now with no problems. Guess I can't comment on the poor service as I haven't required their services. I sampled in all the units you mentioned, each was nice in their own way. One of the things that influe

OK, if the sphere of the ball and the paste on the pad are both eutectic, 63/37 then the paste will reflow first causing a drop of the component, after which the spheres will reflow causing a double drop and a good intermettalic. You can see this by

For what you have right now I would recommend that you use soldering iron tips that are made for component removal. until you get BGAs I wouldn't worry a whole lot about the expensive rework equipment. I would use specialty tips and a heat gun wit

Guys I do not know what you guys are trying to prove. If you have a BGA job to be done JUST forget about using any equipment that is using hot air since you will get into a lot of trouble. It will bend the PCB and need nozzole for each IC find an ER

CMiller, Thanks for the valuable info! We are in the midst of lead-free deployment and need to know good alloy choices at both wave and ERSA. I have heard the same things regarding SAC305's price for bar solder, but don't yet know what the process

The key to longer lasting solder tips when using lead free solder is the amount of Iron plating on the tip. While it is true that tips will burn out quicker, there are some solder iron manufacturers who have addressed this. The ERSA ICON, for examp

Hello, I'm considering to buy my first wave solder machine. We have small production, so we need an small machine, like bechtop wave solder machines. I have read that small machines as Novastar 8S, 12S, has some problems with complex PCB boards. Our

I think machine selection depends upon your application (pitch, volume, changeover from pb to pb free etc...) I have experience with ERSA and Pillarhouse Jades. Both very good in their own right. Pillarhouse are relatively cheap, and quick to chan

We've recently purchased a second hand smt line which contains an Ersa Hotflow 9 reflow oven.We were informed that this oven was capable of handling a lead free process.The oven was manufactured in 2000,and it has come to our attention that it can on
