Morning all, can anyone recommend a wave soldering oven for use with lead free bars? Our trusty 20 year old Treiber wont make the grade without costly upgrades. Its time to let her go and buy into new technology. Any help would be appreciated. Thank

Hi, Is there a standard expiry date for a ROSE Test Instrument Like Ionographs, Omega Meters, Zero-Ion etc.? How can I verify if my OmegaMeter 500 which is almost 20 years old is providing me reliable data during testing? Note that the equipment is

Also depends on how often you will be running the machine, at what speeds and how long you want it to last. If you're going to thrash it 24/7 and want it to last 10-20 years then a turret chipshooter will have less maintenace downtime, and be a lot

Yup, I agree with you. Don't let the 90%er win, rise above it. Keep a sense of humor, cause you'll need it. Ya gotta admit, when the Gruesom 4-sum post here, it is kinda funny. But then again, I've been at this for over 20 years, so maybe I can s

I'm repairing SMT for 20 years and I've worked with both machines. From my experience, I always had a bunch of problems with DEK printer and the service is terrible if your not a big one. MPM is more reliable, parts cheaper & service much better. Pro

Hi Sue! I've worked with Fuji, Assembleon, Amistar, Mydata, and Juki over my 20-years in the industry...working with Fuji now, and I will agree that Juki machines are simplest to program, operate, and maintain. Support has always been good...I wish
