Hi All, We have been running a Novastar spartan 8S wave solder machine for a number of years. We actually do very little wave soldering and this machine has served us well. I have always been of the opinion that with the small pot and simple fluxe

Hi everyone, I just got a GF-12 oven that looks in good shape but it won't go into WORK mode because it needs to run a TUNE. I've read that this happens when the internal backup battery fails or after a specific time. A while back a member posted t

�a va Frank? Well, popularity depends on the beholder. Never heard of your "Specnor" machine. US and Eurolanders take different approaches to conveying boards. * US: Finger conveyors * Eurolanders: Pallet conveyors Suppliers of wave solder machin

The spray bottle puts more flux on the board but I am not sure how to measure ? I just got the Novastar 12S and its very difficult to set up. When I fix one problem another one show up. When I do get good results I dont make changes and then after a

Jerry, At the end of the article in the link you will see how the wave needs to look like. http://www.interfluxusa.com/Technical/No-Residue_implementation.htm This wave design has been adopted by most machine manufacturers and I would be surprised

Hi everybody, Is there any criteria as far as No-clean flux residues surrounding solder joints when using selective solder machines? I have a Novastar SPA 400 and use flux NC kester 959. If I decrease the amount of flux, then I experience problems w

Veering back over to table-top stuff, any comments on the APS Novastar models? Specifically, the LE and LS40 with and without vision? I'm assuming I'll probably need vision, but maybe since the finest pitch parts on my board (SOT-363) are 0.65mm pitc

My APS GF12 seems to have lost it's settings randomly last night, and it won't let me run any profiles unless it's autotuned. I've figured out the security password and can get into the tuning menu, but not sure what to do from here. Anyone know wh

APS hasn't replied yet, but past experience tells me they won't do anything without a significant fee. In the meanwhile, I got some info/assistance from someone else on this, and hoping it gets this working again. I'll find out later when I'm at th

This is a fair point. I've been more or less thinking that a wave machine is like a reflow oven - a box with heaters that's easy to maintain in house. Are they more troublesome than that? I prefer big-boy toys. Manncorp, novastar and the like aren'
