Hi Everyone What lubricants do your maintenance people use for the chains in your Reflow ovens? The manuals for our ovens have one recommendation - but I am always open to other people�s experiences and recommendations. Another option may be easie

Hello Everyone, I am having a pin chain speed problem. The speed of the chain will slow down after start up of the oven. Example if you set the conveyer to run at 41 in/min, as the oven warms up of conveyer will slow down phycally but won't chan

what I have usually found although not from wave conveyor chains but from racing motorcycles is that binding is caused by wear and bending and not dirt unless it is excessive to the point that you can actually see the dirt that is binding it. When t

With oven temps rising due to Lead-Free Processing, I'm looking for some information on high temp Reflow Oven lubricants. I've found some info in the Fine SMTnet Archives on Chain Lubricants, (Mostly Synthetic Motor Oils), but I'm wondering what othe

We use the following stuff from "Biral USA": BIO30 Synthetic High Temp Oil � Chain Oilers NMG-400G � No melt grease - miter gears/lead screws AS500ML � Anti-size spray - lead screws, drive sprockets, rail support L-brackets It seems to work good

Most ovens I know use oil to lubricate conveyor chain, not grease. Anyway, is this what you're using: NMG No Melt Grease NLGI 2 (operates from -20�C to +270�C) NMG is a long-fibred highly adhesive grease which does not melt or drip at high temperat

Actually we don't have local fume extraction at our soldering stations. We have 4 going at a time. I was researching last night and found this website. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-change-rate-room-d_867.html It indicates 10-15 air changes p

As you have seen, the 1088 doesn't need much in the way of P.M. We recommend: --Monthly vacuuming in the base and under the hood (ie Dust Bunny control) --Lubricate Edge Hold Conveyor Chain and leadscrew (if the Edge Hold Conveyor option is installe

Hi Marc I too have been using a fully synthetic Motor oil on Heller reflow ovens for a number of years. In our case Mobil 1 5W-50. We have a field failure problem with some 1% resistors under conformal coating where sulphates are dissolving the si

Yet Again Dave spills his pearls of wisdom. Dave is correct in the moisture content wood absorbs. I know we have all visited factories with wood board holders and such. I have actually seen wood carts with drag chains. Also, keep in mind static can b
