Why don't you guys look at the "WORLD LEADERS IN SOLDER RECOVERY". EVS International make the EVS 3000 and EVS 6000 Solder Recovery Systems. Many other companies have tried to come up with different ways of recovering solder but the EVS is the best

(Hey Cal how you doing?) I can't resist this. You can sort of do what you're hoping for but you have to be very careful. Let the component run out and let the machine get as far as it's going to go. Then go to "Software Options", "Test commands" then

We did a tin bath on ours but it was provided for free by Nihon Superior so that is a no-brainer. It was better than taking a risk of having to dump the pot. If you cant get a free tin bath, then you should probably go ahead and fill it half way or s

Hi, One thing, getting back to the original topic, is you might want to panelize these boards as much as possible, as you don't have too many components, but you have some good volume. So the machine changeover time is going to be an issue. Althoug

On Saturday the 3rd, I offloaded nearly 1200 pounds of solder from my Electrovert, did the tin purge and loaded nearly 1200 pounds of sn100c back into my solder pot. It was a hell of a job, but we got it done in 8 hours. We've been running with this

Hi, Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I am going to check what options we have for top side heating. Do people recommend we get convection for that? Also, we seem limited to 60% in the machine setup, and does anyone know how to run the top lam

Hi. I agree that the Soltec has weak, low-wattage preheaters, and also, the Soltec's fluxer is flippin' weak too. It doesn't do a good jab of atomizing the flux and getting good, huh-huh, penetration on the holes. I cranked up my Soltec's pressu

Hi, Your right guys, and we turned off the chip wave, and most of the problem went away. It looks much better, and we are getting a slight bridging on a USB connector at the front edge of the PCB and a little adhesion, but not any where as much as w

Howdy Bolos, My question to you is why do you feel the need to buy new equipment? We've changed over our processes to lead free and used our existing equipment. Heller 1500 (5 zone convection reflow) Electrovert econopak (wave solder) Honestly we hav

We are placing a gold plated device (LCC) to a NiAu PCB using a SnPb No-clean solder. We're noticing quite a bit of difficulty with reliable joints (intermittent connectivity) and if we have to rework a particular device, adjacent devices of this sa
