You have a lot to think about! What does the flux manufacturer recommend as far as specifics like water temp or pressure? Do they recommend high temp di-water a detergent or saponifier? Do you currently have a cleaning machine, batch cleaner or inl

Flux is not classified as lead or lead free. You are cleaning flux not removing solder.

You'll still have to dispose of filters and whatnot and recycle your water polishing system tanks as hazardous materials.

Thanks for this reply - we're up against all the things you mention...

Yea, that seems pretty obvious to me as well but we have a customer that's not buying into running lead-free in conjunction with lead. They strongly believe that we need to install a dedicated lead-free SMT line inclusive of in-line wash system. Th

We are having a little trouble with what appears to be a crystalization between our fine pitch parts. The problem appears after a a thourough wash of the pcb when dry. It looks like lead wiskers/haze between the joints.We are using water soluable lea

If that's the case, let your customer go. I have run into this situation recently. Q. Why do you not run a dedicated line for lead free? A. You (the customer) give less than 12 weeks forcast and expect us to have a dedicated line for your product?

Hi 'K', We manufacture both batch and inline defluxing equipment so we have no axe to grind with either technology. There are pros and cons associated with both technologies under specific conditions. Batch machines are typically good cleaners but

What are the lengths/depth/height of these two machines? They will be used in-line with conveyors. Thanks, Doug

When you look at the capabilities of Combo machines they tend to sacrifice performance when compared to separate X-ray and AOI machines, meaning they don't do either the X-ray or AOI operations as well as a machine that was designed to do only one. A
