When we hear "optimizing", we think design of experiments

There is not enough time in the day to reliably hand solder these connections. Go buy yourself a solder fountain and spare yourself and your company the misery. Check the fine SMTnet Archives for sources of supply. Everything has a price. A solde

Most "non-moving pots" are tooled piece of steel > with pockets full of solder. At least that's > what the marble in my head understands it be (?). Our Selective solder machine has a fixed pot with a fountain in the middle of it. The table move

Hi Wayne, Why do you feel that your solder pot needs a fountain for this application? It is always nice to have a mini fountain wave but it is not always a must. Good flux and a steady hand go along way. Iether way you will need a steady hand! Th

| I'm looking for information on "volcano" soldering or mini-wave soldering. I need to solder a leaded device, thru-hole, on a already populated smt PCB. I want to do localized soldering on the pins of the device. | Any help would be greatly appreci

Hello. Does anyone out there have any advice on optimizing a selective soldering process? We have a Pillarhouse fountain soldering machine new to our facility and as a Quality/Process Engineer, I am in charge of developing guidelines for board and

We manufacture products that are double sided SMT (double sided reflow) and then have through-hold connectors attached to several of the sides. Currently we solder the connectors by hand, which works fine but takes a lot of time. I'm tempted to get a

Are you running individual point soldering on each component lead, of are you drawing lines with the solder fountain to increase the speed of the process? Could be that if you are drawing lines, coupled with the very low flux levels you say you are

There are several very good threads from a couple of years ago on selective soldering and solder fountain machines in the SMTnet Archives.

Although I am certainly no expert here I have seen a very fine looking piece of machinery for selective soldering. Although it too has a small fountain it is fully programmable and relatively fast. It is the Seho MWM3250. Check it out, it will be wor
