I ever thot of changing the whole solder pot altogether but then it prove to be a costly measures.. If looking at the source of the problem, it might be mainly due to the way that the machine had been maintain... Anyone care to share how they are per

They do perform well and are much easier to maintain than impeller driven pumps as there are no moving parts. The machines with electromagnetic pumps do cost more but the extra investment is worth it. One of the main benefits of the electromagnetic

hello Zac, if you are running pump at 100% and there is not enough wave then you will probably need to empty solder bath and clean everything. also check pump parts for tear and wear. eached solder inlet can make a lot of problems when it comes to w

We have an ERSA 500 and we need to pull the Pump Housing. The manual is pretty limited and it doesn't offer any information on how to remove it. Do we have to remove all of the solder from the pot first? Or is there some way to pull it without going

SuMoTe, that is a fair suggestion, but I believe will be a non-starter. The solder pump motors are actually 40V motors being run from a PWM 24V supply. I did one time try hooking up to a separate power supply up to 40V but all this seemed to do was m

We made much better contact of wave with board. There was not enough solder in bath. We increased it so wave height is higher with same pump power And now board is pushing dirty wave to the other side and board is much cleaner!

the problem I had with pump was that turbine intake was eached by alloy. when I repaired intake, it was a irregular hole about 32mm in diameter, mechanics welded piece of plate with a 24mm hole (that was a factory size) we had to reduce pump speed fr

| Does anyone have info on the rotary chip wave(compare/contrast to z wave.....)? John, In my humble opinion, rotary chip waves are the best thing since forced convection. Great coverage; never clog. And here's a really cool perk: the rotary chip w

I will try that next. I did speed up the wave pump motor with a larger pully(20% more speed) This was done at the time to try to increase the size of the wave because I had component leeds touching the wave pot as they passed by. Due to the wave high

Thanks Bukas. I've actually gone to a lot of trouble over the past 24 months to completely clean, rebuild and adjust the pump and nozzle assemblies and even through all of that we've still never been able to get theoretical maximal wave height from t
